There are good explanations of these techniques in Pedagogy and practice:
teaching and learning in secondary schools, Unit 1: Structuring learning
(DCSF 0424-2004 G), and for those times when such thinking is required they
will be essential techniques to use in music lessons.
They are described very effectively in Pedagogy and practice: teaching and
learning in secondary schools, Unit 10: Group work (DCSF 0433-2004 G) and
in the Literacy in music materials (DCSF 0261-2004).

informative feedback to pupils to help them take the next steps in their learning.
