QUESTIONNAIRE RESEARCH

Now that we have completed our Preliminary Task of creating pages of a school magazine, we have done a questionnaire asking 15 people about general ideas about music and how they use it as well as music magazines. This is so that I am preparing to create my final task.

What age group do you fit in?
14 and under: 0
15-18: 12
19-22: 2
23-25: 0
26-29: 0
30+: 1
This question is very important as each age group generally enjoy different things and have different ideas. The amount of teenagers who filled in the questionnaire shows that the answers following, are generally based on what teenagers enjoy.

Are you male or female?
Male: 5
Female: 10
Another question that will help us understand who these answers will belong to. It shows that the majority of the people who filled in the questionnaire are female and therefore will affect the results of the questionnaire. Over 65% of most music magazines have male readers.
 
What is your occupation?
Student: 13
Full-time job: 1
Part-time job: 1
Having a majority of students as answers depicts what students generally prefer in music taste and the way of gaining music.

What type of genre do you enjoy listening to?
Any: 3
Rock: 6
Metal: 1
Pop: 2
RnB: 1
Indie: 2

Name your top five bands/artists
This has proven hard to analyse as every person who answered each had a very different taste in music, even within the same genre because each genre has several sub-genres in between and now artists are enthusiastic in creating interesting new sub-sub-genres. This only shows how big the music industry is and how it may grow infinitely into the future.

Rammstein: 1     Bauhaus: 1    X-ray-spex: 1    Killing Joke: 1    Black Sabbath: 1
