In December 2002, William Salaman and Piers Spencer completed their five-year term as joint editors of the British Journal of Music Education, having presided over an innovative period in the journal's history. They brought to their task a wide range of experience in music teaching, teacher education, and inspection, which also informed their highly readable and often provocative editorials. Under their editorship, BJME embraced new technology, so that the journal is now available online supported by MP3 files, and features an occasional accompanying CD of musical examples.
