Lately when I go study in libary for an exam. I see lots of people have earphones on. They say that listing to music helps them study. Do you think it works? I can't see how listing to a punk rock band or any song with lyrics will actullay help you concentarte.I have tried baroque music but it was also a no go for me. I couln't concentrate with the noise. What works for you?

Hello WarnoB! Well I actually do listen to music when i study in our school library sometimes. Well my reason is that I can tolerate music more than the noise of inconsiderate talkers. Furthermore I feel that if i am used to musical distraction i won't be easily distracted with the classroom noise in exams. So it works for me sometimes that is. :)

Funny you should ask because typically I would say no, I can't listen to music and do any studying..I still say that where math is concerned, any time I have to solve a problem, I need no distractions..Even to read, I need complete quiet...Yet when I write, whether for fun or for school, I need the music, the more upbeat the better..So I guess it depends on what kind of work I am doing...

I love listening to several types of rock music,but I have never listened to it while studying;I simply couldn't concentrate on my study unless I enjoyed a quiet atmosphere.For me studying is one thing and the music I like is a completely different thing,I could never mix them.

where the same. I can't focus on my reviewers when there some noise, what more it there is music, especially if it is a hard rock song. What a hell! Its hard for me to concentrate with some noise, thats why when i was reviewing my exam for my examination day i always on my room and lock it for me not to disturb.

This is also with me. I cannot study while listening to songs. I read as if I were listening to songs and I listen to songs as if I study. I think people suggest music for concentration for apparently no reason. I never understand the meaning of songs if I do not take them separately!
