Creating a Music Questionnaire

The Task:

· My task is to research into the music industry and then create a

questionnaire to find out what type of music people listen to. I will

then need to record the results and create some sort of

interpretations of the data to see if the results match my hypothesis.

Hypothesis:

1. Most People in year 11 listen to drum and bass.

2. Year 11 spend more money on music than year 7.

3. New Metal/ Grunge music is the most unpopular genre of music in

school.

· I think that most people in year 11 listen to drum and bass because

it is now a growing, popular style of music and now is becoming a

dominating genre of music.

· I think that year 11 spend more money on music that year 7 because

year 11's grew up loving music more. Year 7's are more interested in

technology than what they are in music.

· I think that New Metal/ Grunge music is the most unpopular style of

music in school because nobody really likes that style of music unless

they like being called names and also the music is quite heavy to

listen too. It's too hard on the ears.

Introduction:

· We as a group decided who should be within our group by thinking who

the hardest workers are and who would actually want to do the work.

The three of us (Barry Boston, James Bolton and Minesh Patel) are also

friends so we knew that we would get along with each other. We thought

this would be the perfect combination; with hard work and people who

can get along and understand each other.

· We started working on the coursework immediately. We all started off

by creating our questionnaires and collecting our data. Then we

created our results tables.

· I chose all of the music that we used in our questionnaire by

researching all of the most popular styles of music and then picking

  • Why Band Directors Stick with it and Teach

    Studies show that those high school students least likely to be involved with drugs are band students. Six separate national independent studies showed students with four years of instrumental music scored 40-50% higher on their Math and English Sat scores that non –music students who had equal scores four years earlier. "Why" Music is the only subject that encompasses all seven learning intelligences. Music is one of only two subjects that "connects" the two independent sides of the brain –logical and creative. Similar studies showed that band students attend more regularly. They participate in their classrooms, look forward to and actually like school. They become more focused, more disciplined. An educated person is less likely to end up in jail, impaired by addictions, or homeless.

  • Essay On Soccer Team

    Our book defines a group as a collection of people who are perceived to bond together in a coherent unit to some degree (Baron 241). Making a decision isn’t always easy depending on how many people are in the group and if there is any conflict within the group. The basic aspects of a group include roles, status, norms and cohesiveness but when viewing my soccer team I see only certain obvious aspects being present. When thinking about the process in which we, as a group have to make the decision of where to stop for food after an away game, it is obvious that many theories and/or topics can be applied. These theories or topics include evaluation apprehension, social decision schemas, authentic dissent and conflict. The four subjects listed above help explain how a group can come to a decision together.

    We believe this was the moment our group began to transition into the Norming Stage. During this part of the assignment it was crucial for us to communicate effectively in order to ensure that everyone had an understanding of what was required from each perspective. Thus, once we began the research, everyone did a great job of keeping the group goal in mind by finding sources that could be used for every perspective. Additionally, each member kept their personal goals in mind and submitted the required research to our shared document at the agreed upon time. This was a perfect example of how we dealt with a group dialectic. Another dialectic arose when it came time to finalizing who would present each perspective. Some of the group members did not want certain perspectives because they did not have as much knowledge in that subject area as other members did. Furthermore, some group members did not want a certain perspective because their personal opinion might have had an effect on the assignment. In the end, we were able to balance the heterogeneous and homogeneous characteristics of our group members by asking questions, having trust and exhibiting strong communication

  • Group Influence Essay

    2403 Words  | 5 Pages

    This not only relates to the overall idea of the individual’s actions based on group influence but also alludes to the sub idea of the group of the classroom and how the individual does not want to be seen as lesser by giving a wrong answer. In doing this the group influences the individual to go along with the main idea of the group. In this experiment when given three lines to decide which one is more closely related to the original line it was found that the individual, that was part of the experimental group, would often pick the wrong answer to go along with the group (Baron, 2012). The influence stems from the group all choosing the wrong answer then the individual begins to believe that there is something wrong with the answer they had originally chosen due to the fact that the group overall has made a majority answer. The group itself can present tangible influence when they look to the individual to answer. That moment when the group looks toward the individual is where the influence becomes more concrete and the individual’s own beliefs begin to waiver because they believe that perhaps they are wrong and the group is correct
