Membership
All members receive automated reminder emails when their membership is up for renewal. We have plans to introduce recurring (i.e., automated) membership payments in 2025. Since the IMS annually adjusts its membership fees according to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of your country of residence, you will always be charged with the current rate on the renewal date.
Visit www.musicology.org/join to re-apply for a membership. If you have previously been an IMS member, your original member number will be assigned to you.
See the IMS Code of Ethics for further details.
Awards and Programs
