can u study while listening to music?

[Courtney]

i feel like i can't and shouldn't
but i do

[liquidblue]

then dont.

I can listen to music depending on the work. Esp back in HS for math homework. Once you figured out how to do one of the questions it was just grunt repition. At that point id turn on the tunes and let my mind go in veg mode while i completed the worksheet.

anything english related is a huge no-no for me. When reading a text or a paper i definatly do not have any music on.

Also classical music is good if its played lightly in the background, but obv listening to anything hard or with a lot of lyrics is not going to help any.

I used to not be able to focus on my work or on studies AT ALL if there was tv, music, or even people being loud around me.

Now I put on headphones and absolutely BLAST it while I study.

LOL. Helps me to enjoy doing it.

If I'm doing something that I know how to do well and doesn't require must concentration anymore (maybe I've been doing whatever the task is for a while now) then I can listen to music.
But if I were to be studying (like reading, doing some kind of formula's on paper or something like that) then I like it to be quiet.

Everyone is different though. If you can do well with music playing, then go for it. But if you need silence, keep it quiet.

Quiet music is always good when I'm concentrating.

Classical Music is great too... apparently it actually assists your Brain with its functioning when doing complex tasks.

[FeelGood]

depends on the homework.

sometimes yes but usually no.

[mojo]

yes, but limited vocals.

[lildonkey]

Better question... can you (courtnery) study when you are in a house with internet access and the homepage set to fnk?

[Guineveire]

It depends what music it is.

[tiedye]

Music for everything; no exceptions.

[dave mcnasty]

i usually cant concentrate with music ..........usually if i'm trying to read or write i have to turn off the music

if i had to listen to music while studying it would have to be with no vocals....something downtempo style probly

[penguinabc123]

yes i can, but the music cant be to busy
trancey shit is good for studying i find,

[Lush]

Yes, but only if i'm listening to trip hop, folk or something mellow.

I find studying to certain songs actually helps me if i'm writing an in-class paper or exam because I can put the same song on and it almost helps me recall the information I was studying while listening to the song.

I remember discussing this with a teacher I had years ago and he said that baroque music has actually been shown to help people when they're studying. He also said that a lot of hip hop follows the same pattern as baroque so it actually helps to listen to hip hop while studying.

I can't imagine listening to gangster rap while studying but I could certainly study to some Buck 65 or Sage Francis.
