Interview questions
(If you are listening in class, you could ask a partner the interview questions, then choose one or more of the speakers and note their answers.)
1. What kind of music do you listen to?
2. Do you copy music on the Internet or do you buy it? (You know that it's illegal?)
3. Do you prefer listening to music on headphones or on loudspeakers (or the radio)?
4. For you what's the best thing to listen to music on? (An MP3 player, the radio, a CD player..?)
5. Did you go to any festivals? (If yes, what kind of music? If no, why not?)
6. Do you like singing? Where do you sing?
7. Can you sing your national anthem?
This show was recorded in class, on group teacher, Geoff's, Apple MacBook Pro computer with the program Garageband. The Garageband jingle used is Electric Fire. After editing in Garageband and Audacity (for noise removal and deletion of unnecessary silence), the audio volume was levelled using the program Levelator (www.gigavox.com/levelator), and the file was converted to MP3 format. The photo was edited in Pixelmator.
This show was produced at the Bardwell Road Adult Centre, St Clare's, Oxford, UK.
