25 | Thursday September 7, 2017 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insidehalton.com Fall Registration Truth or myth: Music can help you study Do you usually listen to music while you study? If so, you'll be pleased to learn that it's actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. However, this doesn't mean you should listen to whatever you want, whenever you want. Most specialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental music for increased learning. Classical music is particularly effective at creating a study environment for tasks that involve logic, planning and critical thinking; Mozart's famed piano concertos and Beethoven's Für Elise, for instance, are excellent choices for revising mathematical equations. The same goes for the baroque sounds of Vivaldi or Pachelbel, which are also known to help students achieve the mindset needed for scientific thought. In contrast, when it's time to express your artistic side, jazz and rock music might help get your creative juices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop music works like a charm. Finally, if you're feeling unmotivated or have a Advertorial short attention span, take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. Some studies suggest that listening to music stimulates alpha brain waves, which may be beneficial for relaxation, learning and memory. Nevertheless, keep in mind that music is a subjective art whose effects aren't universal. For some people, studying in complete silence is the best (or only) way to achieve optimal productivity.
