I've posted a mixed sample of the academic and professional resources I use, some have been once and some are everyday. Take a look, any recommended literature would be higly appreciated!
Delicious is great! I have found so many data resources that'll I'll be using for my Inquiry.
The minute you tag a bookmark you get hundreds of recommended tags to look into that lead you to some great, very useful sites!
I'd highly recommend everyone to have a try if you haven't already,

6b...Inquiry Clarification

My Pilot Research Tools.

My pilot interviews were extremely beneficially as I gathered many perspectives on music and singing as a use of communication. My interviews were semi-structured which included a set of questions and themes with flexibilty of following interesting or useful emerging issues. The interviews were a useful tool to use because I could collect alot of valuable data about attitudes and expectations creating motives which is information that is less excessible without this personal approach.However it was extremely time consuming and analysing the data has proven complex. I decided to use 'Thematic categories' to interpret the meaning of the evidence presented. If I decide to use interviews as one of my research tools for my inquiry I would use a more structured interview method to stop me from threading of the subject too much and would have a time limit.

The 21 responses I received from my pilot survey have provided me with a good variety of Information to analyse and relate to my Inquiry. Howerver taking other peoples surveys made me realise I hadn't used the opportunity to its maximum benefits. For example Nikki-Louise McGowans Survey covered many different areas of her future inquiry with detail. Therefore If I decide to use this tool again for my Inquiry I will include more questions that'll provide me with more Qualitative outcomes.

Survey Results.

Using just the highest percentage, more people that completed my survey sang as part of their professional practice, the last time they sang was 'today' and hearing familiar music sparks thier singing.They think singing improves their health and well-being sometimes and can feel a difference in their mood after or during they're singing.

The one open response Question I put was- Why do you think people pay alot of money to go and watch people sing?

This question provided me with alot of great opinions on live singing and the effect it has on the audience.

One answer I particurly liked and will use a source of inspiration behind my inquiry was-

"Because it is a form of art that many appreciate, even people non able to sing well...it's a form of speaking with a soundtrack behind...very poetic!" (Unknown survey participant).

After a meeting with my advisor(Adesola) last week I have decided to steer away from the broad question of Whats the benefits of singing? to something that'll be more useful in my current and future Professional Practice and relates to the qualifications I already have. What are the links between the genres I sing? Jazz, Soul, R'n'B and Pop.

The research and work I  have already done can still be linked to my Plan and can works as part of my learning Journey.

Any suggested sources of information or Literature for my new Inquiry aim would be hugely appriciated!?
