Music's Impact on Studying
  1. Does it help to do work with, or without music playing
    1. Answer: It Depends
      1. When it doesn't help
        1. 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.
          1. Whenever reading or writing, listening to any music that has lyrics can make it more difficult to concentrate and even to recall the information.
          2. When it can help
            1. When work is repetitive and easily done, music can lead to a more enjoyable experience
              1. When performing complex work, instrumental music can help your mind focus while still being able to enjoy music
              2. 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.
