Do you listen to music while studying?

Depends on what kind of music. Classical music or just music can help concentration and improve memory. But songs are different, you tend to sing along and listen to the lyrics instead. But then some people do not have any problem with songs. Last time when studying for college examinations, I read through the notes within an hour (usually never study more than 3 hours for any examination) while listening to music and humming along. In the exam hall, if I cannot remember an important point, I just hum a few notes and then I can recall.

at one point of time there was nothing i could do without music..eating, drinking, studying..even shower. i too know of several people who have not only studied and completed work while they were listening to music but one of my cousin has also scored an 85% while doing so. i too complete my work while listening to music. its fun and also keeps you aware of whether or not you are concentrating. it works for me. dunno about the rest..

When I'm still studying I used to listen to music. One time I'm studying for my chemistry exam and I have to memorize the periodic table (just the atomic no. and family) and my cousin stays in my room while listening to music. After a few hours I did memorize it and ace the exam the following day. Music really helps.

nope i dont. i get distracted because i sing..

you seem to be similar to me in the way you study.i also listen to music the whole time i study.if i have my favorite kind of music around it helps me to concentrate more easily on what i am doing.......specially since i study at night times it helps me to stay awake .....

Yes, I tend to listen to music while studying. It is quite distracting when there's a part of a song that I really like that comes on. I'd end up singing along to it and ignoring my work. It's just as hard for me to keep my attention without music though because I get more bored.

i never listened to music when i studied and now i never listen to music while working at my desk. it is just too distracting for me and i need peace and quiet whem i am working. i do love music though and i love to dance so in the right setting it is great.

I ofen did as you do when I was in the college,soemone though it will readuce the efficiency of the study ,but for me ,when listen to the music I found i was far from the noice world ,there only have music and the books.now I like open the computer and play some pop music when i do the housework,it makes me more happy.

Hi Flowfire, To me, it depends. If i am reading a leisure book just for entertainment, i can listen to the music while i am reading, what a cool thing to do. But, if i am reading my study book, i really needs to focus on the setence because i need to remember it, then i can't have the music around me. Just like your friends, i can not concerntrate if there is music around me. I like to listen to the music when i am born of reading my study books though. Lol....

i think if im studying while listening to the music i can't understand what im reading. since before when im studying i never do that. silent place and sufficient light is better and helpful when im studying.

Ya,listening to music does a lot of help in studies,according to a scientific research listening to music improves our concentration and also helps us study longer because one part of our brain which requires entertainment is being fulfilled by the music.But make sure you hear to a music which you are very much familiar with.Happy mylotting.

Yes I do! I am a very music person, and I can't quietness...it drives me crazy! On top of that, I am always having a song in my head. I think listening to music helps me to study and to remember. It relaxes me and I think I perform my best when I am in a relaxed state.

I always feel cool while listening to music and studying at the same time. I can easily get ride of the noisy environment and make myself more concentrate on my study.

I ofetn listen to music while doing something,like working,programing,studying,even sleeping. Aha. Music can take me out of the noisy surrounding,but I don't like use head-sets just because it dosen't good to ear. But I don't like someone who use a louder speaker to listen to music while someone just doing something that needs a quiet surrounding.

when i am writing some thing then i keep music on , well i enjoy music while writing , i think many do that ,when studying some think i think it would be disturbed but when writing its enjoyable in my opinion

I'm one of those people who are distructed when theres music specially when I'm stydying. My attention captured by music and I can't concentrate on the reading per se.

I've always had to listen to music while studying.. However for some reason, it can't be quiet music... it has to be harder stuff.. it seems to make me focus more... ICP, Twiztid, Deine Lakaien, Korn, Lords of Acid.. LOL... I'm just backwards I guess.

in my opinion,listening to music while studying is not fit for me,because it will let my attention trans on music rather to my studying. music is so a beautiful things that ir attractive me a lot,i love listening music~

hey it's a very nice question...i want to tell you about me that i some times listen music while studying.......strange na but give me a few seconds i am going to explain ...............suppose i don't have the mood to study but my parents are insisiting me again and again for study then in that situation i will pick the book for so many long hours just to impress parents but to time pass i listens cool music while studying BUT on the other end if tomorrow is my final exam and i am very week in that subject then definitely i will totally concentrate to study and in that case music is far away i even don't want to speak a single word from here and there.....SO ACCORDING TO ME LISTENING MUSIC WHILE STUDY DEPENDS ACCORDING TO THE SITUATION

That depends. If I am studying something logical, or much difficult for me, I don't listen to music. I need to concentrate. While when I am doing some easy work, such as reading, I prefer some soft music. That will make me feel peace in my heart.
