We are currently seeking nominations for appointment of persons to the Editorial Board of Music Therapy Perspectives (MTP) for a 6-year term. Editorial Board members read submitted manuscripts, evaluate appropriateness for MTP, and serve in an advisory capacity to the Lead Editor, Associate Editors, and Assistant Editor.

Depending on submission volume and manuscript content, Editorial Board members review between two and eight manuscripts a year. Potential candidates may have a range of areas of expertise, including clinical practice, research, scholarly writing, and clinical supervision. Evidence of scholarly publication by peer review is preferred but not required.

Expectations for MTP peer reviewers are:
- Accept invitations to review, including revisions of previously reviewed manuscripts;
- Adhere to timelines for the peer review process;
- Attend board meetings (in person or via Zoom) or, if not available, watch a recording of a meeting;
- Engage in discussions centered on articles that support or enhance understanding of peer review purposes and the necessity of necessity of maintaining contemporary publication standards into the review process; and
- Commit to providing feedback that is constructive and supportive.

Anyone may nominate an individual for this service to the Journal by sending a letter of nomination and a vita documenting the expertise of the nominee. Applicants may also self-nominate, sending a cover letter and vita or resume.
