This is a music questionnaire that I created myself to find out how often people listen to music, what genre is their favourite and if they do actually buy music magazines.

10. My research shows a range of different feedback.
Although quite a large group showed little to no interest
in music magazines I was still able to find out the main
attractions of a music magazines and the favoured genre
for them to cover. I also found out the preferred item of
technology when it comes to getting hold of an online
music magazine and how much most people my age are
willing to spend on a music magazine.
The only issue with my questionnaire was that I was only
able to reach 41 people, and that a lot of the
interviewees were from my Facebook account and
therefore closer to my age, which means I wasn’t able to
get an obvious range of opinions.
