• We echo the editorial process of the New Directions in Music Education journal: “Reviewers
should approach the editorial process as a collegial exchange, not as a critical investigation.
(...) The approach to the editorial review process described above should represent an em-
powering, invigorating experience for all concerned.”

senting authentic, lived experiences

nity
