Conclusion and Suggestion
In
this
study,
we
have
collected
610
effective
questionnaires,
46%
of
which
are
done
by male informants while 54% of which are done by female ones.
After reviewing and analyzing the questionnaires, we have the following findings.
(1)Most
of
the
informants
have
listened
to
Chinese
music
(79%)
and
enjoyed
as
well
(72%). And the most favorable Chinese musical instrument is Chinese zither(47%).
(2)72%
of
the
informants
consider
Chinese
music
as
a
classical
and
elegant
type
of
music.
The
reasons
why
they
love
Chinese
music
are
(1)
beautiful
melody
(223
counts),
(2)
special
musical
instruments
(153
counts),
and
(3)
magnificent
atmosphere
(124 counts). And the main reason why they do not love Chinese music is that they feel
it is boring.
(3)Of
all
the
informants,
only
31%
have
attended
the
concerts
by
Miaoli
Chinese
Music
Orchestra,
which
shows
the
deficiency
of
proper
promotion.
We
suggest
the
orchestra
should
hold
more
concert
tours
around
Miaoli
County
or
promote
itself
through live performances on social networking websites.
(4)61%
of
the
informants
are
willing
to
go
to
the
concert
if
Miaoli
Chinese
Music
Orchestra
performs
in
their
neighboring
areas,
while
only
30%
of
them
are
willing
to
pay
for
it.
In
order
to
encourage
more
people
to
pay
for
the
concerts,
we
have
the
following
two
suggestions.
First,
the
orchestra
may
offer
some
free
gifts
or
souvenirs
to
those
who
have
frequently
come
to
the
concerts.
Second,
the
orchestra
can
make
more
crossover
music
with
other
performing
groups
to
attract
audience
with
diversified
interests.
