Most of the parents switch off the radio while their childs study . Because they fear music on radio creat noise . But music is not noise .
But I also find myself being disturbed by music . Particularly if the piece of music is absorbing and melodious . I cannot concentrate on the study and my mind goes with the music .
However the disturbance which I feel from a rocking music is of different nature . I subconsciously try to escape from it , but the sound hits the ears so hard that the whole brainwork become useless .
What type of music disturbs you most and how ?

speaking from personal experience, there is NO wat that i can study with the music on. i have tried it(my friends claimd that it helps them), but i just couldnt get my mind to concentrate on the task of studying. i cant for the life of me understand how people can study while the radio is churning out one number after the other. i just cant resist myslf from humming along or tapping my feet to the rhythmic beats. my friends claim that it soothes their nerves...but why would they require soothing of nerves? does studying frazzle their nerves so much!!! if so, i guess they are only kidding themselves that they are actually studying while i guess they are,knowingly or not, following the sound of the music. as it is i have to muster up tremendous powers of concentration to keep me seated while studying, so music is a strict no-no for me. for those who get too absorbed in studying to notice the music,why have the music then? just doesnt make sense. i wouldnt know about classical music..or soft instrumental music playing in the background...for i cant stand them! but i guess it could be helpful at low decibels.

it depends on the intensity or loudness, and the kind of music i listen during the course of intense studying. i find 'easy listening' type of music soothing and actually helps absorb what i needed to absorb.
