How does lstening to classical music help with school work?
January 272010
I only understand calc II when I listen to classical music and i cant take my ipod to the test lol, but anyway how does that help ppl concentrate?
Studies have shown that listening to music while studying actually reduces concentration. My guess is that you are not actively listening to the music (which requires concentration on the music), but perhaps listening passively to drown out ambient sounds. It is also possible that you are a rare case, but I don’t think it applies to most other people. Science has never shown that listening to any music (classical or otherwise) while performing a task helps in the performance of that task.
Listening to some music that you like before doing something can help you relax, however.
