there seems to be different opinions on this. i can listen to music and study/revise/do homework etc. but some of my friends say this distracts them. i personally think it helps me concentrate. what is your opinion?

For me it's not difficult to concentrate while listening to music. But I know that a lot of people can't. Listen to music relax me before exam it's very helpful I think.

ow... of course I can concentrate listening music while stuying or maybe working. it even help me to feel enjoy in doing my work or studying, because i notice myself not really like to study. ^-^ so, music really helps me in doing my things.

sometimes, i can concentrate, but there are times that i can't concentrate while listening to music. it just depends on my mood.... when i am browsing online, i can listen.. but when i am studying, listening to music distracts me.. when i am rushing some work, i like to listen to fast music though, it makes me move faster and think faster.. but not all the time..

when i was doing my self review for my board exam i always listen to music while reviewing. i can't concentrate without it. even when im doing household chores, i still do need to air music.it makes me get things done easier and faster.

Good day, goolonga. I like listening to heavy metal music when studying. It helps improve my concentration. I wonder why others got distracted and unable to concentrate when they listen to music. This is my response, enjoy posting..=)

Im one of those who hates listening to music when studying. My concentration vanish and my focus is in music per se.
