Theory and Practice is the journal of the Music Theory Society of New York State (MTSNYS), published annually since 1975. The journal has featured a wide range of topics in music theory, including analysis, history, pedagogy, and theoretical approaches to various musical genres and styles, and it has acted as a venue for emerging scholars in the field of music theory through the Society's Patricia Carpenter Emerging Scholar Award. Volumes 1–46 are available in PDF at JSTOR

This online version of Theory and Practice was created by Brian Moseley, drawing on an approach to information design pioneered by Edward Tufte and Dave Liepmann's Tufte CSS.
