Journal history

The   beginnings  of  the  „Edukacja  Muzyczna”  (“Musical Education”) journal   date   back  to  2005,  when  on  the  initiative   of PhD  Marta Popowska  was  published  the  first  issue  of  the  publishing   series:  "Edukacja  Muzyczna”,    as  part  of  "Research Papers of the Jan Dlugosz University in Częstochowa", as a non-serial publication. The  first  four  issues  were  therefore  published as a collective  monograph.  In 2010,  while retaining the hitherto  title  „Prace Naukowe  Akademii  im.  Jana Długosza  w  Częstochowie.  Edukacja  Muzyczna” (“Research  Papers of the Jan Dlugosz University in Częstochowa. Musical Education”), this series was transformed into a journal, the issues of which with numbers 5–12 were published in 2010–2017 under the ISSN no 1895-8079. In 2018 the title was changed. The reason for this was the transformation of the university, where the annual is affiliated, into the Jan Dlugosz University of Humanities and Natural Sciences in Częstochowa. The current title of the journal is „Edukacja Muzyczna” , identified by the ISSN no 2545-3068. It is not difficult to notice that the new title is in fact an abbreviated version of the previous one. The annual also keeps the previously adopted numbering and layout.
