For me yes. But of course with a right music that would relax my mind. I don't ant loud music when I am studying or working. It helps me think and I can memorize easily. How about you guys? Do you prefer listening to music while studying?

I listen to music all the time, but when i study I prefer music without words. I tend to pop in soundtracks to movies like Lord of the Rings, Harry Poter, and Titanic. I still have the music but no words to distract me or I would never actually learn anything.

Some may not agree that I like a music background while studying. Some might say, you are ridiculous, how can you concentrate with your study if there is a sound alarming behind you. I don't care, I was born with music, I love music and music completes me. I am inspire with music, of course it will lead me to long hours of study, but long hours of study with enjoyment. When I hear my favorite song, I stop studying and listen to it and then continue after. It gives me a vibrant energy when someone is singing in the background. It makes me happy and alive.

That would depend on the level of studying that I would need. If I was just copying something, or writing a few passages over and over its okay if I have music. If Im going to memorize something if its easy to memorize, music would be welcome. However, if I need to think deeply about what Im studying then I prefer total silence. That makes me focus more, concentrate easily and so get done with studying faster.^_^

Music is a part of our lives, me and my girls. I listen to music while working at home. I listen to music while working on the computer too. Music has a big influence in our daily lives.We all love music.

Hi Health, When i study, i want the atmosphere to be silent. i am distracted with music. i want my mind to be focus on what i am reading. but if there's a lot of noise around and don't have the control of it...playing mellow music will mellow down the noise and in a way will help me focus.

Oh a big NOOOOO!! I cannot study if I hear a small sound also. It should be total silence around me when I am studying. Even a small sound would disturb me a lot from studying and my concentration just flies away so its better for me without music and not even a sound!

I might be attracted by the music and be absentminded in my working, haha!
