Friedrich Nietzche said that music is not like a mathematical skill, but like a language. That is to say, it's not like "clever" people enjoy Opera and "stupid" people enjoy pop. Rather, opera and pop are two different languages of music. Liking pop over opera is a bit like speaking English but not understanding Chinese.\n\nIn other words, it doesn't matter what kind of music you listen to, as long as you enjoy that music with all your soul. Rock on!

Mozart is the most well-known and popular composer when it comes to that...\n\nBut I believe any piece of light classical music will help you to study. \n\n(When I mean light, I mean that the music is not dramatic, serious, profound, etc...)\n\nThe volume has to be loud enough so you can hear it clearly ("legibly" so to speak)...\n\nBecause what good would it do if the music is quiet enough to blend into the sounds of the environment?

An etude (from the French word étude meaning "study") is a short musical composition designed to provide practice in a particular technical skill in the performance of a solo instrument. For example, Frédéric Chopin's etude Op. 25 No. 6 trains pianists to play rapid parallel chromatic thirds, Op. 25 No. 7 emphasizes the production of singing tone in a polyphonic melody, and Op. 25 No. 10 covers parallel octaves.

>Acoustics is the study of sound: the production, detection, and propagation of sound waves, and the absorption and reflection of sound. It includes the study of how electrical signals are converted into mechanical signals, as in loudspeakers, and the converse, as in microphones; also, how sound is produced in musical instruments, and perceived by audiences in concert halls; the protection of workers from damaging levels of sound; and the use of detection techniques, such as sonar and ultrasonic scanning.

Do you mean musical notes or musical notation?\n\nBoth have been around for a very, very long time.  In Western civilization, for example, the Greek mathematician Pythagoras studied the characteristics of music very carefully.  He made an instrument called a "monochord" (a one-stringed instrument) and learned about how to create different notes on his instrument by shortening the string.  His ideas about music still affect Western music greatly today.
