Do you listen to music as background while studying/working?

Hi, ra1787. It is a good discussion. In the past i used to listen to the music as background while studying, but it was already few years back. I liked to listen the soothing music so that i would not get distracted easily. However, nowadays, i no longer play the music as background while i am studying. I do not know why, i just found myself could not focus on my studies that much like before while the music is playing. I get distracted so easily if the music is on. So, i'd better turn it off and concentrate on my studies. For working, i love the music is on, the music will not distract me like i am studying. I still can focus on working if the music is on. But, it must be soothing music. I do not like the metal of rock music. Thanks for sharing. Happy mylotting and have a nice day!

Yes I do. But I prefer soft and relaxing music. I feel more focus and relax while studying my lessons. It takes out my stress while reviewing my lessons. More power to yah! ^_^

yes, i also listen to enigma and gregorian chant. also some classic rock like lynrd skynrd and derek and the dominos and such when im studying. but i dont really listen to rnb or pop so my music library is short

Yes, I do listen to music while studying (when I was in unuversity) and also working. Main reason is to keeping me alert so that I wob't feel sleepy. Also, it can help me to increase my concentration by ignoring any other things that happened around me. Usually I will listen to those classical songs with a very low voise. Rock songs tends to disturb me. So I will not listen to rock song when i am working.

I am a student in high school. I have to have music while i study. I listen to almost anything. I mostly listen to old school rap. The Beastie Boys. They are the best.!

i do listen to music at times but i wonder how brain gotta take it n in whch sense does it mean helpful to one.....??the brain does keep in pace with parallel memory n if studies n music r done on par is the information goin to be stored as short-term memory or a long term memory..??while playing music is der goin to be any change in base line activity leading to a short term memory....???? pple i hope tht some one will be clear to me...waiting for reply.....

I like to have music on all the time. Especially when I have to work at home. I would much rather have music on than the television. I know some people have the TV on just for background noise. I also like to play tunes when on the computer. We have it on at work in part of our building but not in the other part where the customers are, the TV is on in that part.

yeah, i always have music on in the background while i am on the computer doing stuff. i used to listen to it while i had to study because of school too. sometimes it'll distract me but i'll just turn it off if it starts to do that. i like having it on because i feel like it makes doing whatever i'm doing easier sometimes if i have music to kind of sing along to in my head.

I've tried studying with music playing at a low volume, but I can't do it--it's still too distracting. Now if I'm working at something such as vacuuming, washing dishes, or something like that, then yeah, that's when the music is turned on. Of course, sometimes I get so busy doing karaoke that I forget what I was supposed to be working on. lol

Hi, i like listening to musics too, but during working i would prefer to have a soft or sentimental type of musics, or sometimes i will just prefer to be in silence. This is the same when i'm studying. For me, when i study i need to be focus and concentrate. Songs or musics will easily distract my attention. It is still fine if the subject i'm studying only need understanding. For those need memorizing, i need a quiet environment so that i can concentrate, not even a soft musics,haha. Whereas while i'm doing other work or doing things online, listening to musics will be quite an enjoyable thing to do, and it is relaxing and fun.

Hello there! Listening to music at work helps me to keep awake and be attentive... i usually listen to Pop, a little bit of rnb, acoustic rock and if i wanted to make my day pump up i will listen to nice house music and move to it :)

I have to listen to music while studying. I listen to whatever I have on my playlist that fits the study mood. Usually, it's a lot of Blue October, Arashi, Kiyoharu, Makeshift Romeo, classical, and Gregorian music.

i like listening to classical music when i am studying.

Yes,I do...and I think i'm more concentrate with music as background while I study

My heads a little too untamed and just strides a lil wild when I try to work or study. It just keeps on getting diverted and I have a tsunami of thoughts inside. I have his problem since the first year of my college. Music here gives me some repose when I need to work or study, and it keeps my mind a little busy to think anything else and it really helps me get into my work. I generally listen to hard rock while I wrk. I tend to switch it off if I have to focus a lot. Any ways.... Take Care

Hi ra1787,Back when I'm in high school I always listen to music while studying. It just that I feel more comfortable and relax, yup the lesson become more easier to understand and remember too. But rule in my office is not as friendly as it should. No music and silence is a daily dull working environment I've to deal with each and every day... Boy, I miss my high school era... Those day: Phill collins, celine dion, whitney houston, air supply, and too much great musician have giving me the best, enjoyable moments . Now I don't even know today music chart...

yes i used to do it in school time while making assignments......but now i become so busy that i dont have enough time to even choose which music feels me good. now i only listen to music while traveling long distance in week or month

yeah even i am very much accustomed to that i just cant do any work and concentrate in it without background .i would really love o hear to melodious music when i m in some work it makes my concentration better.its really a very good soothening effect that u can get from anything else.so music is the best thing on earth,happy mylotters

I always listen to music when i'm on mylot, reading, doing housework, even last year when i was studying. I have a playlist on my yuwie page with over 100 songs, mostly pop/rock, i enjoy doing this at least twice a day.

yes i do!i prefer very gentle slow music though!no heavy metal and noisy music!i do so especially at night...it works for me..because i hate to stay up at night all by myself..when everyone at home is busy snoring away...sort of makes me feel lonely..so everytime i have to stay up and study or work..i just put on my fav. songs..they keep me company:)
