This is the letter the student sent about his survey of why people attend choirs.
I don't have the skills to add the survey so you can download it from this site. So I suggest you email him for a copy. Gwawr Ifan <g_ifan@hotmail.com>
Or you could email me at mcp.sykes@which.net and I will send it as an attachment. Claire

Dear Richard Stevens,

I'm conducting a research for my PhD at the School of Music, Bangor University, and am currently sending questionnaires to choir-members across Wales. The aim is to discover the reasons why people sing in choirs, and ultimately to discover if choir-singing influences people’s personal and social well-being.
I was wondering if you would be so kind as to pass this message on to the members of The Gower Chorale, to see if they would be interested in completing the questionnaire? It is a very straight-forward questionnaire and shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes to complete.
Choir members can answer the questionnaire electronically (I have attached a Welsh and English version with this email), or I can send hard copies through the post if you wish.
Any member of any choir in Wales may complete the questionnaire, so if you know of members of other choirs who might like to take part, I would be extremely grateful if you could forward this message on to them as well.
Thank you very much for your time. The result of my research is completely dependent on the response of others, so I would be extremely grateful for any response.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,


Gwawr Ifan

Annwyl Richard Stevens,
Rwyf yn gwneud ymchwil PhD ym Mhrifysgol Bangor ac ar hyn o bryd yn anfon holiaduron at aelodau o gorau ar draws Cymru. Y bwriad yw darganfod rhesymau pobl dros ganu mewn côr, ac yn y pen draw ystyried os yw canu mewn côr yn dylanwadu ar les personol a chymdeithasol yr aelodau.
Tybed a fyddech yn fodlon pasio’r neges hon ymlaen i aelodau Coral Gwyr, i weld os y byddai ganddynt ddiddordeb mewn llenwi’r holiadur? Mae’n holiadur syml iawn, ac ni ddylai gymryd mwy na 15 munud i’w lenwi.
Mae croeso i aelodau lenwi’r holiadur yn electronig (atodaf gopi Cymraeg a Saesneg ohonno gyda’r ebost hwn), neu gallaf anfon copïau caled atoch drwy’r post.
Mae croeso i unrhyw aelod o unrhyw gôr yng Nghymru i lenwi’r holiadur, felly os gwyddoch chi am aelodau o gorau eraill a fyddai’n barod i gymryd rhan, byddwn yn hynod ddiolchgar pe gallech anfon y neges hon ymlaen atynt hwy hefyd.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am eich amser. Mae fy ymchwil yn hollol ddibynnol ar yr ymateb a gaf, felly byddwn yn ddiolchgar am unrhyw ymateb.
Edrychaf ymlaen i glywed gennych.

Yn gywir,

Gwawr Ifan
