There are two distinct opinions regarding the combination of music and study. Some say it is a distraction while others say that music helps them study to the point that they can not study without it. The reality is that, although it is shown that music stimulates the brain, its effectiveness depends on both the person and the type of music.
In recent years, studying with music is becoming fashionable and is that, with new technologies, there are many devices to listen to our favorite music. However, studying with the fashionable songs or with our favorite artists is not the best idea, since these songs encourage us to move or to sing.
In any case, if you like to study with music, here we leave you with a list with 10 songs to study selected especially by the ExamTime team. Enjoy!
The songs included in the list are the following:
- Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson
- Ours - Taylor Swift
- Rainbow Veins - Owl City
- Walking Away - Craig David
- Four Seasons - Vivaldi
- The General - Dispatch
- Grace Kelly - Mika
- Poison & Wine - The Civil Wars
- Love My Soul - Café del Mar
- A Bullet and a Target - Citizen Cope
On the other hand, many are easily distracted by the music and begin to hum the songs more than anything else. If this is your case or if you have never studied with music, you could try something softer such as instrumental music or soothing natural sounds like, for example, a storm or a river. For your case, we also have some songs to study:
75 minutes of storm
