In particular, it's Baroque music that helps students.

Turn off your stereo.  Turn off you I Pod.  Or if you can't live without music, try listening to classical music or smoothe instrumental jazz music.  Vocal music was always a big distraction for me when I was studying in college.  Instrumental music helped me concentrate.  \n\nThe book "The Mozart Effect" has very interesting insights regarding music and brain function.

I believe the governments need to spend money on things like visual and preforming arts. Music has been proven to help the brain functions of young people so that they improve in a number of things. For instance... in music you have to count rhythm.. .well where else does counting and fractions apply? why... math of course! The skills that you can learn from doing these sort of things is invaluable and besides.. it gives you something to do when you're stressed out about school in general!

How about writing about the problem of choosing a topic for your composition?  You could discuss how you used this site to help develop a topic and other ways you brainstormed topics...depending on the sense of humor of your teacher, and the specifics of the assignment, might make for a perfectly creative composition.\n\nGood luck.

There are no bad effects of music.  It helps you feel better or get over some thing personal.  Also some music make you feel good.

I have to have music on. In a way it helps me concentrate and puts me in a better mood. I wouldn't be able to sit around in silence then force myself to study. Its much easier with some pleasant background noise.

I don't know what kind of random hits your teacher is making on the students.  Perhaps you can't get past that?  I went to three universities and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in all.  The key to my good grades was my note taking.  I took amazing notes and then when I got home, I went through them and outlined my notes making more sense of them.  By the time I got through outlining and making a really nice bunch of note pages, I knew the material.  It helps to not be freaked out by tests as well.  They never bothered me.  You either know it or you don't.  I think trying to study at the last minute outside the classroom door is foolish.  All that can do is get you all nervous and confused.  Even being around other students who are panicking over their last minute studying will have a negative effect on you.  I stayed away from the classroom and those students until the very last minute and didn't crack a book before the test.  Like I said, "If I didn't know it when I got there, I wasn't going to learn it in 5 minutes!"  I also helped other students study for their exams (the same ones I was taking) and this also solidified the information in my brain.  In that case, you give and you get something in return.  If there was an area which was extremely difficult to grasp onto, I stayed after class and talked to the instructor or made use of the computer programs available for that particular subject.  Good grades take hard work.  Your grades to date are not to be sneezed at, so don't be so hard on yourself.

Yes, loud, noisy music will raise my pulse rate, while slow music will, most definately, lower it. At times, I have to shut off the noisy stuff to relax.

Yes, it does.  Rock music helps me relax and it also has helped me study.  Concerts are the best; I come away filled with profound thoughts (and no, it's not all the weed being smoked).

I nearly started a riot in a sixth grade classroom when I asked the students, "What do you think of  your school lunch?" Within 10 minutes, they were making petitions to have the lunch program changes to be healthier. They were so captivated.\n\nI was also in another middle school classroom where the students had written fantastic essays called "Those who don't know ." They each picked a topic they loved (say football) and wrote an essay that formatted as follows:\n*****\n   -----------------\nThe Assignment - Copy Change\n\nStudents are to write their own "Those Who Don't."  The essay should be about a place where they feel comfortable, but where others may not feel comfortable.  It should also include information about a place where they feel uncomfortable.  The following phrases should be included in the three paragraph essay:\n\n       Those who don't know any better .......  They think .....    They think .....     They are stupid people who.....\n\n       Be we aren't afraid .....\n\n       ....our knees go shakity shake .....     Yeah.  That's how it goes and goes.\n\n\nI hope this helps!\nmore about the assignment at: http://wonders.eburg.wednet.edu/Morgan/ThoseWhoDont.htm

Soft music is great for putting a baby to sleep.  I agree that loud, raucous music makes a child more hyper.  Generally, music must be carefully selected for a child, so that it becomes a positive influence.  If you play good music around your child from infancy on, he will come to associate that music with the happiness and security of his home, and be charmed by it.  Music really is magic, you know!

it could be paranoia. I tear mine becuase i read somewhere that the ripping of paper is calming. And if you focus on the sound, it truly is.

You can get example from my history teacher. He tried to joke us and says funny things about us. He always talk interesting stories about the ancient world during the lessons. And he uses a mindmap to explain the lessons better. When the class become noisy, he usually makes us quiet. Sometimes he shouted or give us a break. My class is really obedient, he would only give us permission to move around but not too much noise.Try your lessons to be active and funny and interesting. Just because he is a good teacher, we still haven't forgotten him. But don't let your class to take this oppotunity to get noisy. One thing is my teacher never scolds people without a valid reason. Instead, he tried to joke so that the class is more active and more attentive and enjoy the lesson.\n\nTry this way. Wish you all the best and good luck.

Of course music educates people. Learning rhythm or timing helps with math, and coordination.Being able to clap a rhythm takes some coordination. Learning to read notes on paper helps to understand a little about graphs. Listening to music , a person can learn about rhythm, pitch, volume, and tempo.\n   Writting music with words helps in the area of writing.

I also have ADD, and during my finals last year, I was just like you.  I went to a very quiet place and brought a discman or mp3 player. The music calmed me, and at the same time it kept me from being distracted from other things around me. Don't place them over your ears, just turn the volume on max and set it down on the desk next to you.  Hope it helps.
