Qualitative and Quantative Research

Qualitative Research
This is more factual research, its a lot more open ended questions that would require a more extensive answer rather than a simple yes or no. This is gain a better understanding peoples views on whatever the subject may be.

Quantative Research
This is research that requires simpler answers mainly is the yes or no format. This is more about the quantity of the answers you have more than the quality of them. You normally find this format in questionnaires, it can be put into a graph or tally chart.

What is a Music Magazine?

I think a music magazine is a source of entertainment and information about genres of music and different bands and artists and instruments.

The first ever music magazine in the UK was Banjo Mandolin Guitar magazine (BMG), founded in 1903 by Mr Clifford Essex.

The most popular music magazine in the UK is Q, it even calls itself "The Worlds Greatest Music Magazine"and it is difficult to argue with them.












The future of music magazines doesn't seem to be looking good as the selling prices are dropping quite fast. People use the internet a lot more these days as a source of information and entertainment.

What i like in music is Indie, Folk, BritPop and Rock.

The most popular music at the moment is Indie and Rave music and in magazines at the moment, this genre is what you see mostly, with bands like Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys on the front cover.
