ACCENT

The MSS is proud to support the work of the Con’s undergraduate and postgraduate research students. Beginning this year, we are publishing ACCENT, an annual academic journal containing submissions from emerging musicologists studying at the UWA Conservatorium of Music. Volume 1 of Accent is now available to read online, and will soon also be available in print!

Print versions will reside in the Common Room. For copyright reasons, the PDF version is password-protected; simply contact us at hello@uwamss.org.au or speak to our Committee members to get access.
