Image result for listening to music active brain. Listening to music in the classroom helps students’ brains work better. The differentiation in beats between songs changes the way our brain is working causing constant motion and thinking processes. Music is really helpful in school. The University of Wales conducted a survey about listening to music while you study. The results showed the future scientists that listening to music while studying and doing homework is helpful. The music improves students’ attention, memory and mental abilities such as math (Abercrumbie 1). The music helps brains work harder and learn better giving learners better skills in the classroom such as math. The different types of music that we listen to fires up different parts of our brains. Listening to a wide variety of music while studying is very effective for students (Abercrumbie 1) "These transitions between musical movements offer

My results show that listening to classical music is most affective when studying. When the tests were being completed, I noticed that with the classical music and no music, the subject seemed to already know the answer instead of having to work it out. With the heavy metal and background noise, the subject found it harder to think and work the answer out.

Music affects the amplitude and frequency of brain waves. Music can create a highly focused learning state which vocabulary and reading material is absorbed at a great rate (Education.jhu 2016). Students who received music instruction had improved sound discrimination and fine motor tasks and brain imaging. When information is put into rhythm and rhyme, these musical elements provide a hook for recall and gives a better remembrance of data(Cerebremente 2016).

“Music has become a fundamental part of our lives, which is why students are so eager to know whether it will negatively or positively impact their studying.” (Goodwin, 2015). Whenever we are upset or down, or even happy or angry, we

I believe that music can help everyone, Mozart was a genius. He made amazing peaceful music. Even throughout the years women have believed that playing Mozart for unborn child can improve their intelligence. Why can’t that still work for us now? I know that music helps me engage in my work, but I feel that listening to loud pop music can get very distracting. After reading through the variety of articles I believe that classical music does improve test score. Towards the end of this paper I have switched over to classical. I quite enjoy listening to the background noise instead of the loud, upbeat music I usually listen to. Not only does Mozart improve test scores it is also very calming and lessens anxiety. I will definitely be tuning into Spotify's classical radio

C, D, E, F, G and H are eight employees of an organization working in three departments, viz Personnel, Administration and Marketing with not more than three of them in any department.

Previous attention from scholarly articles and psychology journals have indicated that listening to classical music can heighten a person’s ability to learn and focus. This has prompted some teachers to start integrating the playing of classical music in their classrooms to raise the amount of information retained by their students and make their work more efficient. A study done at Stanford University indicated music heightens a person’s ability to learn because it “engages the areas of the brain involved with paying attention” (2007). In contrast to that theory, a study from Applied Cognitive Psychology showed that listening to music while performing a simple task does not help cognitive performance (2010). With the multiple studies available to the general public on the topic of music and the ability to focus, it is hard to draw one, single conclusion as to which claim is correct. While both of the claims that music may or may not heighten a person’s ability to learn and focus may have evidence as support, there seems to be more sufficient evidence and credible studies that make the claim that music does indeed increase the ability to learn and focus.
