2. Age Number of Replies back Age group I had sent out 80 questionnaires, 20 to each category, but I only received 40 replies, mostly from teenagers and young adults. I have decided that my target audience will be for people between the age of 14 and 25.
3. What type of music do you listen to? I decided to find out what type of music Muslim people listened to, and I found that RnB was the most popular and Nasheeds came 2nd. I decided to do my magazine on Nasheeds because there are a lot of RnB magazines available to individuals, and Nasheed magazines are hard to find.
4. Are you familiar with Islamic Nasheeds? As my questionnaire was sent to Muslims, all the people that replied were familiar with Nasheeds.
