When? do you have a daily music routine? Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another? Where? clubs, bedroom, gigs, car?- Most of the time i listen to music when i'm going somewhere so my daily music routine will change but on a school day I listen to my music when i'm going to school and then on the walk back. I also listen to music before I play sport, this is because it chills me out before the game but also gets me motivated to play and try and win the game that i'm about to play. So when i'm walking to the game i will start off with more calm music just to get me relaxed and the closer I get to the game i listen to quicker music that helps get me in the right frame of mind to play the game.
Who with? do you share your music or is it an individual experience?
- I usually listen to music on my own using my I Pod, but if i'm in the car with one of my mates I will listen to the music through the speakers of the car.
How? radio, computer, ipod, tv, live, dancing, homework, getting ready ie doing other things - background wallpaper- I mainly listen to my music through my ipod but I also listen to music when i'm working on the radio but also if i'm at home I use my laptop to listen to songs on youtube.
Why? What are the pleasures associated with music consumption? What does it offer the audience and what needs does it gratify?
- Music is very important in daily life because there is so many genres and emotions in the music industry, you will always be able to find a song which will fit the mood that you are in, or could help improve the mood that you are in. This helps most people
