Does Classical music help you remember things?

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.

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. A person can write a good poem and write music to fit the rhythm of the words. Music can help a special ed. child to keep pace to help with coordination. Would it be easy to learn to dance without music?  A person can learn to work faster while playing a fast song. There are many thing one can learn from music.\n   In a movie, the music can give a clue for what is about to happen next.

Many do (rely only on natural acoustics.)  It often depends on the use in question.  Most symphony halls ahve sound systems, but do not use them in the hall when the symphone is playing.  The natural sound and sound balance is a key to the experience of listening to a classical orchestra.

associate your study material with your daily life activity, or some past experience that you have had, These events will never get wiped out from your memories as you have experienced them personally. Hence, by associating them with your study you can recollect the material whenever you want.

i have been playing for almost 20 years.  i think there is something very profound about playing an instrument, especially the piano.  i think classical is very underrated (something that should be observed live).  there is a passion that comes with the piano and playing several notes as once.  \n\ni think it also brings your experience as a person.  shows yourself how to have control and discipline and that hard work actually works.  the result is amazing knowing that you work on this piece and you made that sound come from your finger tips.  each note perfects by the way you touch, and how loud or soft it resonates from the piano itself... helps everywhere (even the bedroom) to have such an art!  did i get a little carried away there?

with study guides it helps if you draw shapes around the words in all the blank spaces on the page... don't ask how, but it works. I think your brain memorizes shapes easier than words

I have that problem too.  By the way, it need not destroy your future.  I'm about to finish my Ph.D., and while this problem can be challenging, there are techniques to help control it.\n\nThe most important thing is to not condemn yourself because of it.  Recognize this as one challenge you must overcome, but do not let it overwhelm you.  \n\nI've found background music to be helpful. It allows your mind to be fully occupied, without distracting too much from your studies.  I prefer classical music, but any instrumental music should be ok.  I've found that music with lyrics can be too distracting, but if it is just instrumental, it balances well.\n\nBest of luck to you.

I once saw a sign in a music department of a high school:\nMusic - I love it for what it makes me remember, and for what it makes me forget.

You have to use it or lose it.\nAlso, thinking games have been found to improve memory.  Sudoku, crossword puzzles, card games, etc.

If you want to train your memory you can use things like peg words and word association in a manner that your memory is forced to work.  There is NOT enough room here to offer everything but I have a memory course which I bought a long time ago that teaches you how to associate things in a funny or violent or zany or sexual manner to remember them.  The theory behind this is that this is what the mind seems to keep as the deepest or most intense of memories.  Also, using sounds to match the numbers 0 to 9 can allow you to remember things like dates and lists and so on.  ONCE you do these training excersises you not only have a few good memory techniques, but your mind actually improves as per its memory because you are "using it" or "excercizing" it. Incidently, if you are wondering about Ginko Biloba or other herbs, there is little evidence to show that this helps the mind - and it is expensive.  If it were cheap, I would say go for it.  Apparently eating fish helps because of the vitamin and mineral and fatty acids in fish.  You should look up health FOOD and MEMORY to see what FOOD (not supplements so to speak) helps keep the brain or mind healthy.

Yes. It is a set of piano pieces that you have to practice over & over again to master. It also has a levels program in which the music gets more complicated in terms of diffculty. The pieces here range mainly from classical to traditional music. Also, yes you will have to memorize the pieces which is not too much of a problem since you will eventually memorize them through constant practice.

Yes. I do. But I usually just listen to music, or read a book. Or study. Lol.

No, we often don't recall doing things that we do so often that we don't have to think about doing them.  These things become such a habit that we don't have to think about doing it.  Just like breathing.  You haven't forgotten how to breathe, you just don't have to think about doing it.  You put your ipod on hold so much it is something you can do without thinking.

Yes, I think most people who play musical instruments (esp a stringed one) like classical music since we learned to play using it.  I'll check out the group. Thx!

Actually, I remember things best if I can verbalize them.  I am pretty good at remembering things regardless if I hear them or see them, but when I actually repeat it outloud I usually remember it much more.  I guess that's why when I was a student I always had my hand in the air!

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.
