Music Census™ Cohort

Our Cohort Music Census™ is for cities, regions, or communities looking to conduct their Music Census™ alongside other cities engaged in a learning cohort. This is a good choice for those who want to build a network of other music-friendly cities, and it offers a more cost-effective price. This approach provides a mix of group and individual city guidance, there is a standard set of reports each city receives. The process and survey methods are consistent across all of our Music Census™ so that data can be benchmarked.
