The Big Survey 2022: demographics

What is this survey for? 

This is a survey of the members (individuals) of Making Music members (groups). You have been sent the link to this survey by the group you are a member of. This survey is totally anonymous.  

Making Music is conducting this survey to see how the demographic make-up of the Making Music membership compares to the demographic make-up of the UK.   This will give us useful information so we can take action to achieve the aims we articulate in our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion plan. We will conduct this survey again in three years’ time to assess our progress.  

The survey also includes questions on what music teaching and education individual members received, which will help us to address barriers to participation in leisure time music making across the UK.  

Your group will be able to request a data set of the information shared by all its own members that complete the survey. That means your information will be shared as part of that set with your group. This will be totally anonymous. Your group will be able to use this data to report on its own demographic make-up and compare it to the demographic make-up of your local area and the UK. If your group is working towards its own Equality, Diversity and Inclusion aims, it can use this information to set a baseline and chart progress. 

If you do not agree to the use of your information for these purposes, please do not complete this survey. None of the questions are required, so you can answer as many or as few as you would like. 

Please type your group name in the box below and select it from the pop-up list: *
