Music's Impact on Studying
- Does it help to do work with, or without music playing
- Answer: It Depends
- When it doesn't help
- When the work is more complex, such as writing,
listening to songs you haven't heard before can
cause your mind to focus more on the lyrics than
on your work.
- Whenever reading or writing, listening to any
music that has lyrics can make it more difficult
to concentrate and even to recall the
information.
- When it can help
- When work is repetitive and easily done, music
can lead to a more enjoyable experience
- When performing complex work,
instrumental music can help your mind
focus while still being able to enjoy
music
- Summary: Music can make any work or study session more enjoyable but lyrics can be a major
distraction to your work. Try your best to listen to instrumentals and avoid songs with too
many lyrics. For example, listening to movie soundtracks can provide a source of entertainment
and relaxation, with out the loss of focus.
