Six Questions and Alison Cook-Sather's presentation

I am not familiar with nor have I ever heard of this topic.

I understand Metacognition as learning strategies  and awarenss of how students learn and even how we teach. 

Inquiry is related by open-ended discussions, planning a goal and opening different boxes to implement it reminding each person how we sing and/or even present differently..

I do plan to open my and my choir's understanding of the music by brain storming about the composer's intent, music in general, opening up other boxes for discussion.  I will also try other ways of performance with soloists and the choir to achieve blend, singleness of spiritual thought, assessing their individual strengths and weaknesses as soloists and choir members.  I will also try to be more transparent as I develop the process to present a song. Why? Why not? I may even begin to coach more than one person to sing the same solo hoping to demonstrate the diversity, develop comparable analysis and bringing their own emotions and experiences to the song.

Other questions may develop as I open these boxes but the process is clear right now.

I thought Alison was clear, resourceful, and informative and her activity was thought provoking.
