Task 2D - Inquiry

QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS QUESTIONS...




I suppose many questions crop up in life everyday, but which ones do we actually take note of? Which questions stick in our minds and encourage us to delve further into finding the answers? Which questions will we never find the answers to? 

I've have been making this list over the past week. I have posted my questions, some are questions I have thought about my professional and the 'talent'/ musical theatre industry and some are from my teaching work or may have just made me stop and think.


Why do parents want their children to do dance/acting/singing classes from such a young age?How has dance become even more popular amongst children over the past 5 years?Why, as new professional artists, do we work for free?If television talent shows didn't exist, would there be more of a chance for professionals to get jobs?Are talent competitions on tv a good or bad thing for the public to get their few minutes of fame?Do talent shows on tv really find raw talent?How do you become a "professional" in this profession?Why do 'untrained' celebrities get presenting jobs/main parts in theatre, when there are professionals like us who would be much better at the job?



Teaching Questions:How, if at all, do props help children get more involved with the song and dance?Is it best to make sure that all children know exactly what they are doing in a routine or allow them to just 'follow' the others?How do you engage children who are just in the class because the parents have paid for them to be there?What are the best techniques of teaching to help children with difficulties to remember a routine?Why do some teachers not understand that kids will be kids and that they have their own personality and ways of expressing themselves?Why do some teachers like their pupils to do everything identically, like robots?



I have many, many more questions that arise everyday and I hope that some of these will help me with the further tasks/modules during the rest of the BAPP course.
