Description
Therefore, I want you to conduct a small focus group, with at least two respondents, that will last at least ten minutes but may go on for twenty minutes or so. I want you to place them in a comfortable and quiet location and lead them into a conversation in which you will ask/probe for the following:
What are their ages, occupations, genders, ethnicities, and primary relationships (e.g., married, boyfriend, free, etc.)?
What are their favorite musical artists, styles, and songs?
What is their number one song today, and why?
With whom do they share music? When? Where? Why?
Is there any music today that they dislike/hate/etc.? Why?
Do they share musical tastes with their friends? When? Where? Why?
How does their favorite song make them feel? Does it help them solve a problem?
Have they ever had an “our song” that defined a relationship? When? With whom? Why?
What do they think of Lil Nas X becoming a popular country music artist?
Record your interview and write it up as a four-page story in paragraph form. Describe the interview setting, participants, atmosphere, vibe, etc. Read Chapters 6 and 11, and answer the following questions in one full, additional page with references:
How was the contents of the interview different from the one-on-one you conducted?
How were YOU different in the two interviews in terms of how you talked, how you related to more than one person, how comfortable you felt, etc.?
