Pinpointing the inner workings of these processes may extend the ongoing work within music education and further support how novice music teachers notice, observe, and understand the nuances involved in music teaching  . Across thereviewed body of research in music education, stimulated recall and think-alouds helped participants access their tacit knowledge and think metacognitively about their thought processes while solving musical problems, listening, and teaching  . Overwhelmingly, the participants across all of the reviewed music education studies demonstrated notable improvement in their ability to identify and describe aspects of their cognitive processes  .  \nKeywords: teacher knowledge, music teacher education, verbal protocols, think-alouds, stimulated recall  \nIntroduction  \nTeaching and learning are commonplace human activities that are intricate and complex (Ball, 2000; Grossman, Hammerness, & McDonald, 2009). Informal teaching happens throughout our day: parents and children teach one another, peers assist each other through work and play, and colleagues offer perspective and new ways to approach tasks. Because of the ubiquitous nature of informal teaching, it is often assumed that professional classroom teaching is simply learned through experience (Ball & Forzani, 2009, 2011; Cohen, 2011); however, scholars argue that professional teaching is specialized work that is complicated and unnatural as it involves identifying and examining topics through the perspective of the learner (Ball & Forzani, 2009) .  \nContributions to Music Education  \nAs such, professional teaching demands the continuous acquisition and retrieval of specialized knowledge, skills, cultural competency, relational sensitivity, and the ability to “unpack” knowledge to make it accessible to someone else (Ball, 2000; Ball & Forzani, 2009, 2011; Clark & Lampert, 1986; Freeman, 2002; Lampert, 2000; Nilsson, 2008; Sherin & van Es, 2009; Verloop, Van Driel & Meijer, 2001). Teachers make decisions and problem-solve with a high degree of fluency in a dynamic environment. The fluency and automaticity with which teachers call on their practical knowledge, skills, subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, situated and contextual knowledge, and personal knowledge, highlights the demands of specialized expertise (Ball, 2000; Ball, Thames, & Phelps, 2008; Grossman, 2005; Kagan, 1990; Lampert, 2000; Lortie, 1975; Shulman, 1987) .  \nScholars note the importance of finding ways to capture, represent, and describe teachers’ routinized and tacit knowledge (Meijer et al., 2002), as it may offer insights into how pre-and in-service teachers develop practical knowledge. Meijer et al., noted this aspect of research may result in:  \n(a) a deeper insight into the cognitive aspects of teaching; (b) an understanding of the complexity of teachers’ practical knowledge and how this is related to teaching practice (i.e., it is based on, develops in, and influences teaching practice); and (c) encouragement of student teachers to reflect and elaborate their own developing practical knowledge. (p. 407)  \nYet, this type of inquiry is difficult to access for three reasons: (a) knowledge is often held unconsciously; (b) teacher cognition is contextual; and (c) there is a lack of specific language to describe cognitive function and action (Kagan, 1990; Lampert, 2000; Lortie, 1975) .  \nIn the case of music teaching and learning, accessing music teachers’ knowledge is further complicated by the temporal nature of the subject matter.
