[Music and study] Music audition effect and precautions during learning

Many people wear earphones and listen to music while studying. There are many people who study not only as students but also as adults, but many people think that listening to music interferes with their studies. However, on the other hand, some people don’t mind the noise around them when listening to music. Then which is the correct answer? The answer depends on the genre of music.

Music genre

Listening to music while studying can be effective in some genres and can be a risk in some genres. So what kind of music is suitable for studying? When listening to music for the purpose of improving concentration, song selection is a big point.

Classic

A variety of instruments are used in classical music, but they are generally harmonious and united, so they are rarely noisy. It has the effect of stabilizing the mind.

Ambient

Ambient is ambient music. It is composed of sounds related to nature such as the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of flowing water, and makes you feel as if you are studying in nature.

Healing

Healing music mainly uses sounds that emit alpha waves, and has the effect of adjusting the autonomic nerves. Just listening to music will reduce your pulse rate and allow you to breathe naturally and deeply.

Important point

The above music genres are very effective for concentrated situations such as studying. However, in the case of the following music, it will be counterproductive and you will definitely waste your study time, so please avoid it.

Song

Music with lyrics naturally comes into your ears, so you can’t concentrate on it. Since humans are animals that have the ability to think, they begin to think about the meaning of words. Never sing a song.

EDM, rock, anime music

Fast-paced songs such as dance music, songs with rapid development, and songs with rapid movement of scales will stimulate the brain more strongly, making it impossible to concentrate on studying. Try to avoid it as it will definitely reduce your learning ability. This is also true for rock and anime songs.

Song selection

Please limit the music you listen to while studying to the following. Stimulating music will definitely hinder your studies and result in wasted time.

Flat music

Music with less chord progressions and music with less musical scales are more suitable for studying. This is because it is less irritating to the brain.

Natural sounds

The sounds of insects, flowing water, and swaying trees have a relaxing effect on humans and are very effective for studying.

Slow tempo song

A song with a fast tempo is not suitable because it makes you psychologically rushed. Slow tempo songs are psychologically stable.

How to improve your concentration

It’s okay to use music to increase your concentration and motivation, but you also need to be able to concentrate on your studies without it. In addition to music, try to improve the efficiency of your studies.

Rest

Some people study for a long time in an attempt to increase their study time as much as possible. However, because people have a limited amount of time to stay focused, there is not much that can be remembered no matter how much time they spend studying. You will be able to study more efficiently if you take a break and rest both physically and mentally.

Light exercise

Since you tend to stay in the same position for a long time while studying, you will get tired from your neck, shoulders, and lower back. While studying, move your body moderately, such as stretching your back, arms, and hips, so that you do not get tired.

Decide the time

Even if you study all the time, it will be painful. Therefore, let’s decide the time to study in advance. Being able to sharpen should be able to improve efficiency.
