'Research in Contemporary Music Performance' Journal is one of the 2 official bodies (journals) of the Academy Scientific Societies and aims to publish abstracts of practitioner research essays. 'Carlophone - Advanced Training in Education through Music' Journal is the other journal.

The Fellowship Support (non stipend or bursary) is an opportunity at no cost, only available to Members to obtain CPD Advanced Training (Professional Development at postgraduate degree level) in music performance/music analysis research (depending on the specialist college) to acquire other specialized knowledge and research-based expertise that was not acquired during
the externally accredited Programme of Continuing and Specialized Education in Popular Music.
The Fellowship Training Certification is not awarded by a college or university, or certified by a regulatory body for teaching in higher education. We have included them as a service from our specialist societies for academy members that graduate from the chartered and externally accredited ALPMC-CI Cert. or PgCert. of Performer in Popular Music (delivered by the 'Interactive Conservatory' tutorial system)

The candidate's own approach of writing, improvising or arranging music will be assessed as well as its analytical and historical contextualization within 1 musical specialty chosen by the candidate. A few ideas for writing a research proposal are given in the middle of this website page. As a general rule the word-counting limit is up to 12,000 words for this academic essay (specialist dissertation). A research proposal should be received before the full essay research work to determine if the subject or topic approched fits one of our society Journals.
