What research should I use?

I have recently looked at different types of research that could be undertaken, in which are appropriate for what I am doing; finding out the genre of music my target audience are interested in. A group discussion was held, which included discussing in detail qualitative, quantitative, primary and secondary data, where we would give examples of each. Triangulation was also introduced, the idea that more than one method is being used to research . This discussion has benefited me with my coursework as it enabled me to see that a questionnaire would be the best research method for me, as i could receive both quantitative and qualitative data; the triangulation between method. It also meant that i could hand it out to a large sample, and it is an easy way to get data from students etc. as it was easy for them to fill out anonymously:).
