3 Comments:
1. what is the sub-topic?
I think you should focus more your questions adressing the sub-topic of Classic Music. there are some questions that sometimes don't really relate to the topic (eg 2,3,5,6)
2.Do the questions reflect knowledge of the interviewee?
Mostly in the last 3 questions
3. Are the questions opinion-based or only fract-based?
It has a combination of both which is good.
4. Are any of the questions provocative? (challenge)
It has one or two, but there can be more.
5. Is there a logical flow?
Yes I think it flows, except for number 10 which may be mentioned when talking about Purdue.
6. Do the question make sense?
Yes all questions make sense.
good job :)

The subtopic is clear and it will reflect knowledge of the interviewee. I think improvements can be made to make the questions to be more provocative and dig a deeper opinion on the topic you chose from the interviewee.

Lily gave you some good feedback, so follow her advice. Rather than getting rid of some questions, you might want to reformulate your core question to be more comprehensive, and to include numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6.
