Can music help you study?

Moira Laughlin

Nowadays most students have music playing anywhere and everywhere. Whether they have head phones on or are playing it through speakers it's not unusual to see students listening to music. But is there any benefits to listening to music while studying? Well apparently it can, if you're listening to the right type of music. According to a study that has been done on the "Mozart effect" it has been shown that music shows improvement on cognitive functioning. However if you are listening to the wrong type of music it won't help with you're studying needs. So what kinds of music are helpful?
Anything without words tends to be the best type, let it be classical, ambient, or even just a soft guitar. As long as the music is relaxing and not too fast or too slow studying can be a much better experience.
