Hey I'm doing some research into finding a most popular/effective method of songwriting. I have a questionnaire and I would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to fill it in.

The link below is a new one as I had a lot of responses on the other site and it would no longer let me see new responses without paying £24

Hmmm, so what kind of research are you conducting? Who's getting the data?

Hi Jacky

Thanks for posting the right link. I think most of us would like to know what the data's going to be used for before taking part. Would you mind giving a bit more info?

Thanks :)

It's hardly very revealing or personal data!

It is for primary research to use towards my university essay. I am looking into finding the methods of songwriting that people find most effective and when and how inspiration tends to occur. When I have a lot of the questionnaires filled in I will be able to tally up the results and get an exact percentage of people who use a certain method as opposed to another. I am also looking into how highly people value certain aspects of the songs they write, as this will give me an indication of whether people are more concerned over their music or over their lyrics for example.

I have chosen to research this area as songwriting is one of the subjects I am most interested in. It can also seem to be quite a mysterious subject and I'm hoping my research will be able to shed more light on things. Many beginners may want to write songs but are unsure where to start or how to go about it. I was hoping that this research might give beginners a definitive starting point and a method that is productive for the majority of people.

I've had to change the link (again) as the old site was full and wouldn't let me read new responses without paying £24 a month plus 10p per response

I have filled in the questionnaire! I feel that a lot of my actual answers lay somewhere between most of the questions though, especially the one about songs being 'fictional and 'non-fictional' - I guess my songwriterly aim is generally something more er.. abstract I suppose!

Seriously good luck with your research, it will be interesting to see if there are any common patterns that emerge.

I've completed the questionnaire - sorry for so many questions, it's just nice to know what it's for.

Feel free to share the results with us when you've finished :)

I have filled it in.

I have no problem with helping in your research in this way. my concern was because on other forums, companies are often asking to fill in questionnaires disguised as members. They then make money from selling the data.

Good luck with uni!

I actually enjoyed it, shame there weren't more questions! I don't usually think about songwriting as such, its just something i do so i probably learned more from it than you did!
Good luck with the research and your degree.

Liam.
