Why listening to music is bad to do well studying. You can lose track of time when you're studying. You can't think it can offer comfort and increase focus or so you thought. Until coming across the work of Dr. Nick Perham. He is a teacher in the School of Health Science at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. His study shows that music can interfere with short-term memory performance. Which involves a subject conducting a task recalling a series of numbers while listening to different music. They found that listening to music liked or disliked was exactly the same both were even worse than quiet control conditions. They both impaired performances on serial-recall tasks In some ways, you might think music is helping you others may think it's not here's the reasoning behind that. If you are listening to music well while studying for something an important part is how the music impacts the power to distract. If you feel sad or stressed distracting yourself by listening to music can lift your spirits. It probably isn't what you should be doing when you need to do your work. You're trying to argue your position on writing a paper or trying to solve a difficult calculus equation. Music that is too loud or fast might interrupt your thoughts and it can make you procrastinate with your process. Certain types of music like the song Paint the Town Red by Doja Cat or instrumental music that's too fast and loud can make it harder to be able to understand and absorb reading material. What kind of music works best when you are studying try to avoid music with lyrics because it will probably prove more of a distraction than helpful. Avoid surprising or experimental music because it lacks a fixed rhythm it may leave you guessing about what to expect. This can distract you and keep you from focusing on your work. Don’t listen to songs that you have strong feelings about listening to the music you either love or hate can affect your ability to concentrate.

I don't really listen to music just because of the environment. Another reason why I don't is because it's just a hassel getting out my earbuds and picking the right song. I think both sides have great information, but I strongly agree with the disadvantages because of losing focus. My take is that students can choose if they want to listen or not, it just depends on the teacher.
I feel like, for me, music helps me focus more. I don't listen to crazy loud music, I like to listen to folk songs. They are calm music and they can help me focus on tasks. I don't think most music can help people focus. They just need to find the right kind of music they can listen too.
Appsolutly it just depends who you are and what works for you. An what helps you focus.
For me, it depends on what type of music I'm listening to if it's new music to me I'm trying to learn it but if it's music I've heard before I can focus better. However it can be distracting at times I might start singing the song and go completely off-topic from what i was doing.
Yeah I can see that because you want to learn new music to have fun.
I dont listen to music while im working on assignments becuase and kinda distracts me, but I can picture why poeple like listiens to music while they work. But it could feel overwhelming or harder to remember your studys or work
In my opinion, music relaxes me and keeps me focused on my work and know one else's. I love to listen to music while studying or doing homework because I really think it does keep me calm and focused. Yes, sometimes I do find myself paying for attention to the actual song instead of my homework, but all in all, I think that listening to music is a great way to keep me focused on things like homework.
Yes music can do that it can make you relax and calm. But it has to be the right music for you.
Music helps motivate me to get things done, usually when I get upset the music i listen to can help my mood, although sometimes I can get distracted. But I do think it helps improve my working skills, like homework.
in my opinion it depends what type of music you are listening to. I you are listening to jazz music or just like instumetal music i would say thats okay or at least that has helped me when im doing my homework, but if you are listening to music with words or something like that than i would say that wouldnt help you focus.
