Focus Group For Music Magazine

Focus Group


I decided to find out more about my target audience which i will be aiming my music magazine towards. Through doing this I will learn more about the hobbies and interests of my target audience. From this i can use the information to help structure my music magazine. This could bring success for my music magazine because it will focus on the readers hobbies. I have asked three individuals which are in the my target audience:

This is amy who is aged 15 and is currently studying at Shoebury High School where she is currently taking her GCSE's in year 11. She has mixed feelings about her future goals, however at the moment she thinks she would like to work as a young children's nurse. Amy is a very dedicated dancer where she does several hours a week. She does Tap, Modern and Jazz. She prefers the variety. Amy has been a dancer since 3 years of age and she has made many friends through dancing. Amy music interest are varied because she likes all different genres of music, however if she had to pick a favour she would choose R&B. Sometimes she likes going to the mayhem teen nights because its a chance to have a laugh with some friends. Amy does sometime like to use her mobile phone, however this is only a recent fad.Amy usually uses MSN of an evening time as her main source of communicating with people. She also uses Myspace and Facebook. Amy does not usually read music magazines, however if one interests her she will read it. Her fashion taste is rather predicable as she shops in Topshop, Miss Selfridge and New Look.


This is Claudia who is aged 13 she is currently at school at St Bernards High School And Arts College. Claudia has no accurate idea of what her future holds, however she is very clear that she wants the study drama further. This is because she finds this very interesting.
