| I know a lot of us here are college students or have been students somewhere at some point in our lives. I want everyone's opinions... What are the right kinds of songs/genre of music to listen to while studying and doing homework? I know I seem to learn better when listening to music since it relaxes me, as well as having a bottle of water nearby so my brain stays hydrated.
I figure a lot of people will probably say classical music, but if you could recommend some actual pieces that would be awesome.

| I'm not in college so I can't speak for myself, but my kids seem to study more when I put classical music on for them while they're working on their homework.

| There was a study done back in the 80's that showed students listening to classical at a low background noise did indeed produce than those that didnt. Now Im long since past my college days. Maybe more studies have been done. I might suggest trying wikipedia online and seeing if any new tests have been done.
I hope this helps

| I think a lot of it is personal preference. Personally I don't think I could successfully study anything while listening to classical music. It's probably best to listen to some genre that's relaxing, non distracting and not too exhilarating and if classical works for you then listen to classical.

| I can't name any right now, but Enya might be a good place to start, or Kenny G, or others like that. Music with words tends to keep your mind on singing the song along with the artist and not giving your full attention to the homework/studying.

Sade Anytime this is a good choice. I like female singers when I want to relax and still get something done. Stevie Nicks, Joan Baez, Susan Tedeshi, Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Emmy Lou Harris
I too have heard that classical stimulates brain activity. I don't know what the truth is to that though!

| when i went to college, i liked the sounds of buck owens, george jones & bob wills and the texas playboys. in fact by licking it so much and hitting out all the dance halls they was playing at, uncle sam gave me an all expense tour of the world and it didnt cost me a penny. in fact i wound up making $110.00 a month plus another 475 dollars for fox hoe & jump pay. it all depends on what you are looking for
