I asked a sample of 15 people do a questionnaire so that i could find out about the audiences taste in music. I got many different results which i can collate and base my music magazine around.
Firstly i needed to identify the types of genres that the audience like within their music taste. This would therefore give me an idea of the genres i could include in my magazine.The question i therefore asked was "what genre of music do you listen to?". The answers were in option boxes so the answers were rather restricted. The answers i got were predictable for people of my generation. The most popular answer was R & B music close following indie music. This was predictable because younger people are all listening to the same genre of music. Also most younger people are start to reconise acoustic music.
Secondly it is also important how the audience are listening to their music. The technology has expanded so rapidly recently that there are any electrical good which hold songs on, which are portable. In the results from the questionnaire I can tell that the most common piece of technology in the younger generation are Ipods. Another important fact that i would need to know from the audience is how they get hold of their music. In the past 2 years most people have turned to downloading music because it is cheap and is also convenient. When I'm creating my music magazine i could play on this and advertise downloads.
The next question on my questionnaire was what music magazines do they already read. This answer can help me see what style readers appeal to for a music magazine. There are many music magazines existing at the moment and i need to identify which readers go for. From the answer I got i can see that NME is most popular magazine at the moment for younger readers, followed by Q and Kerrang. The conclusion i can make from this is that these magazines are all very similar because they all offer the same information but in different styles. Therefore are they are all very informative, however in different ways.
The last type of question i asked was if they go to gig/ concerts. This because gigs and concerts are main features of articles are also used for advertising. Most music magazines have dates of gigs for all different artists. The results from the audience survey i can see a positive response that most people attend gigs through music magazines.
