Studying with Music



Almost everyone has listened to music whilst doing homework or studying, right? But have you ever wondered what music is the best ‘study music’?  Studies have shown that some music can not only focus and relax your mind, but also improve your concentration and give you short-term mind-boosting effects! 
Classical music, and in particular, baroque classical music, is well-known for relaxing the mind and body. Composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, and Telemann are the most popular when it comes to soothing and peaceful music. Recent studies revealed that baroque classical music lowered the stress and enhanced the concentration across all age groups, including young children.
The ‘Mozart effect’ is another popular study tool used worldwide. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, perhaps the greatest classical composer of all time, remains one of the most listened to composers of this modern era. The ‘Mozart effect’ refers to the short-term improvement of tasks performed by a listener of Mozart’s music. Such improvements include deeper concentration, lower stress levels, and improved creativity. A common belief of the Mozart effect suggests that “listening to Mozart makes you smarter”, and that an early childhood exposure to classical music has a positive impact on their mental development.
Classical music isn’t the only way to calm your mind, however. Genres such as smooth jazz, country, and even techno, can relax your body and help your focus. Researchers believe that the best music for studying is at a slow tempo, usually under 60 beats per minute. 
Other ‘study music’ include ambient sounds or pulses. This music is designed to keep your brain engaged and alert on a subconscious level. The sounds of rain, waterfalls, wind, or waves crashing against a beach, might be just what you need when studying for that upcoming exam!
Here is an example of a classical music for study period.
