Dear Tina,
Thank you so very much for your email. This new journal is of great interest to our Institute's Program in Music, Health & Medicine.
We have recently done two clinical trials involving music that used a randomized-controlled design and we are about to commence with a third clinical trial. We look forward to submitting papers to Music and Medicine in the near future.
If I can be of any help in an editorial capacity, please let me know - I have served as an Editor for Music Perception and currently for the Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies and as an ad-hoc reviewer for numerous Neurology and Neuroscience journals.
Thank you again for alerting us to your exciting new venture.
Sincerely,
Mark
