This is a magazine for professionals.

That is not to suggest that others seriously interested in music won't find something of interest in these pages - we sincerely hope they will. International Musician and Recording World is about music and about the industry that serves it. Our aim is to inform and we're happy if we can do anything to promote the cause of music.

The staff of this magazine have all been involved with music, either as players or as members of the industry. We hope that we can offer something that will be of use to everybody in music.

We are the first magazine to bench-test, scientifically, electronic equipment designed for band use and we are hoping to extend these tests to cover as much equipment as possible. Each month, guest musicians will be writing about their skills and we will be publishing as many articles about music technique as possible.

Communication is the life blood of all publications and we need to hear from you on your feelings about this magazine and all subjects related to music.

We hope you will enjoy reading International Musician and Recording World every month.
