Heey ppl i was wondering whether listening to music is a distraction or a kinda motivation....anyway my parents think listening to music is a BIG NO NO while studying
can they be right?
i need some answers from some guru here lols

I was told that the only music that can help you learn is baroque music. Listen to 'Canon in D', it's great

Depends on the individual. Personally when I study I listen to music. Not classical like people recommend- just general stuff off my iPod. That works for me but others say its distracting. Basically, give it a go and see if it works for you.

yes it does but i listen to motivational songs like kelly clarkson...'what doesnt kill you makes you stronger'

 

[Domsky]

Yeah stuff like tht and sometimes eminem....depends what he says in his songs

The bad thing about listening to music is that you might remember it while you are doing an exam instead of the content

Wait, so you're asking 'Distraction or Motivation' but your poll answers are 'Yes/No'? Is it yes/no to distraction?

Deswa, do you listen to music for generally all study? I can't study with music unless it is maffs

Really depends on the individual.

Music is distracting for me when doing something like English.
But I listen to music for Mathematics.

Hence why I find math study so much more entertaining.

Nice Comment =)

music makes studying fun.

It depends on the individual. But also, I think it also depends on the type of music and how loud you have it (i.e. so loud you can't think/concentrate properly)

Yes I love listening to One Direction and JB when I'm pumping down the maths equations.

Most of the time. I always listen to music when I'm doing maths. The only time I don't is when I'm doing essays for eco or english under exam conditions, and sometimes when I'm practicising short answer technique in phys and chem.

Maffs is like second nature so it's much easier to multi-task while doing maffs for me.
While, Engrish is just something I have to do in silence.

Anime OSTs for me is like drugs for maffs...
Especially dem OSTs which occur in fight scenes...

Same.. Although since I listen to music while doing maffs, it makes studying for other subjects really boring :/

Have you tried using music in your other subjects or are you assuming it won't work?
