There have been studies proving that if you listen to classical music before and during studying you have increased concentration and get better results.

I agree with everyone who said if used for the designated purpose of learning, the aforementioned tools generally assist learning more than they hinder it. \n\nJust more on the iPods: scientists reckon that listening to music whilst studying helps you associate ideas (such as academic ones) with songs you like and choose to listen to, thus aiding your ability to retain information.

My favorite type to listen to is rock - The Doors, Pink Floyd, Live, Bush, Incubus.... because the sad ones speak to my pain, and the happier ones give me energy and make me drive too fast, and the philosophical ones make me think. However, I play piano, and my favorite genre to play is classical because I can think of the feelings - don't need words - and translate them to sound with my hands. Doesn't matter if anyone else "gets" what I'm expressing, because I do.\n\n If I were to play songs with words, it would limit the range of things I'd be able to think about and express. But when listening, I like to know what the composer is thinking and be able to identify.

That use to happen to me and the only way I could sit down and study was to have some kind of noise around me like the radio. Try classical music don't go for music that distracts you. Also when you're going to start studying don't do it on an empty stomach eat a snack first but just a snack, nothing heavy or you'll end up falling asleep.

It is very good for the brain. It has been proven that aural stimulation helps infants and toddlers increase their IQ significantly. It appears that Mozart's music is the best, though I'm not sure I believe that to be entirely true. I find that a good variety of music is best. Don't limit yourself to a certain type or genre of music. Listen to all kinds if you can. Mix it up a bit. It's amazing what you learn through your subconscious as you listen.

In a quiet place with few distractions (like the T.V., computer, etc.) like your bedroom at a desk. Someplace where you can concentrate on your study work. I usually study at the desk in my room so if you have one I suggest you study there! Some people concentrate better with soft music playing that way it isn't too quiet in the room or too loud. Sitting up is usually better than laying down. Also, don't just sit there studying for hours. Give your brain some time too think. In other words take a short break every now and then. Another thing you should do is try to repaet and reword the questions. That way you are not just memorizing the paper you are actually learning what you are studying. Good luck on your tests!!!

I'd have to go with Mozart too. The second movement (andante) of the Violin Concerto Nr. 1 is very beautiful, and so is the andante from Violin Concerto Nr. 3.\n\nThe theme from "Schindler's List" is also very moving.

No...that's all psychosomatic (it's all in the head).  It has in fact, been proven that Classical music doesn't make anyone smarter.  However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to it, as it is still good music.  The best way to remember something is to repeat it.

Mozart.\nI used to have to play his songs back when I was is Music school. His pieces are cheesy. I prefer Tchaikovsky

I used to think that it was abunch of hooey. But I would say stick with it. You will be able to hear the small details in music . And the listening experience will be more rewarding for you. Also if you just get the very basic of harmony it makes learning music that you play (or sing) easier to read when you need to sight read. For instance if you understand the harmonic structure of a song and you need to learn it right away you can look at the chords and be able to read the melody with out fail. Don't be discourage keep at it.

As a musician (although a lazy one) I prefer listening to classical or Romantic music on a regular basis. However, if I am cramming for a test I do best with no music on at all, especially if it's technical information. I found that out the hard way in chemistry in high school, where listening to mood music in the background proved a terrible distraction for about four of us in the class. We were directed back into the quiet lab to finish our assignment, and that worked out. I think the chemistry teacher was trying to find out if using mood music would help us concentrate better in class. I guess if you are into composing and analyzing music to any extent, it is better to keep music separate from most studying, as listening to music would not be a passive activity.
