How do you consume music?

When? Do you have a daily routine? Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another?

Music is a big part of my daily routine, I often listen to music when getting dressed in the morning as I feel like this gets me in a good mood and gets me read for the day ahead. I also listen to music on the way to school in the car. When working in lesson I eel that music helps me to concentrate and get my work done. Sometimes when I'm feeling down I will maybe listen to sad songs because I can relate them to the mod that I am in, but also when I am feeling happy I will listen to upbeat songs that I really enjoy.

Gigs, Car, School?

I enjoy listening to music at festivals, for example I went to V festival this year and also last year and enjoyed the music that was played there, it was also more enjoyable because the music was live by the artists. I also enjoy listening to music in the car when traveling, this is because it makes the journey more fun. When revising I feel music helps me to concentrate more and also when doing work at school I feel that it helps me to focus more.

How? Radio, Ipod, Computer, TV, Live?

I often listen to music with my phone as this is the easiest way for me to do so when I'm at home. At school, I sometimes listen to music through the computer from YouTube so that I don't get distracted by my phone in lesson. When in the car, I often use my aux lead which allows me to plug my phone in and play music in the car through my phone, however, I sometime listen to the radio.

Why? What are the pleasures associated with music consumption? What does it offer the audience and what does it need to gratify?

I listen to music as I enjoy it very much, I feel it helps me focus at school but I also feel that it's something fun when I'm on my own as well as with my friends.
