Why have I been chosen?
You have been chosen as a member of a music group (instrumental music or singing). I am interested in collecting views from a very broad range of participants,

You are free to decide if you wish to take part or not. If you do decide to take part you will be asked to provide your consent below. You are free to withdraw from this study at any time and without giving reason.
What will happen if I take part?
After giving your consent, you will carry out a short online survey (15-20 minutes) about your current and past music-making. This also includes a very short personality measure.
What do I have to do?
If you are interested in participating in this study please continue to give your consent and progress to the first page of the survey.

I don’t expect any problems to arise in this study. You have full control and choice over what information to provide.
