Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire me and my group created to find out what types of music our fellow students and family listen too. We also asked questions about how they listen to and download the music, this will help us when it comes to creating the CD cover and poster.

These are the results of our questionairre analysed, and put into graphs for easy viewing.
