Music is a powerful art form that can bring up emotions, inspire motivation and alter your mood.
Students frequently listen to music while studying to make the process less painful and, in some cases,
because they believe music will help them learn. The effects of listening to music while studying are
mixed, however, and depend upon the type of music you listen to as well as the degree to which it
distracts you.
Music With Lyrics
Music with lyrics activates the language-processing centers of the brain, and the University of Phoenix advises that
this can be distracting. Particularly if you're reading or studying subjects within the humanities, the act of processing
musical lyrics as you try to process the words you're studying can make studying more challenging. Students who
listen to music with lyrics may have more difficulty concentrating and may struggle more to recall the information
they've learned.
Instrumental Music
Robin Harwood, et al. point to the "Mozart Effect" in their textbook "Child Psychology." The "Mozart Effect" is the
belief that listening to classical music can improve intelligence; it is based upon a single study that was subsequently
refuted. Instrumental and classical music won't make you smarter, according to Harwood, et al. But this music can
have a relaxing, soothing effect and is less distracting than music with lyrics.
Staying Focused
A 2005 study published in "Psychology of Music" found that workers who listened to music while working had
higher productivity than those who didn't. The study's authors speculate that this could be because music boosts
mood, improving motivation. Particularly among students who are struggling to remain motivated to complete their
work, music might provide a respite from the stress and exhaustion of studying and inspire them to keep at it.
Context-Dependent Learning
People recall information more effectively when they're doing so in the same environment in which they initially
learned it, according to the textbook "Educational Psychology." Students who listen to music while studying will be
better at recalling the information they've learned if they also listen to music during tests -- an opportunity most
students don't have. This might mean that listening to music can make recalling information more challenging,
particularly for students who transition from listening to loud music to taking a test in a silent classroom.

No. Never.
Many students feel that listening to music while doing homework will help them
work more efficiently. Unfortunately, music is a major distraction,
especially music that contains lyrics. While doing homework and listening to
music, not only is your brain trying to comprehend the words you're seeing, but
also the words you're hearing. So just listen to instrumental music, right?
Sadly, this won't change that fact that listening to anything while doing
homework is a distraction, which can cause you to retain less information. In
the end, this can result in lack of knowledge and lower test scores. So the next
time you sit down to do homework, it may just be best to do it in
silence.

Yes, if it works.
Speaking from personal experience,
I have found it very helpful to listen to music while doing my homework.
Everyone learns differently, so the answer to this question is more complex than
just a 'yes' or 'no.' Often, I find myself having to turn on music to be able to
tune out other noise in my home. There are always members of my family home, and
it is always quite noisy. Music allows me to focus more on my work.I have
always received mixed reactions from friends as well. Some say it is impossible
for them to listen to music and do homework, but others would agree that it is
difficult to complete homework without music. So should a student do homework
while listening to music? Well-- that is completely up to the student, but I
think there is no harm in trying!

Today’s teens find it hard to resist listening to music while doing homework. Those who choose to listen while they study could see grades dip as a result. Teens need to choose wisely if they decide to listen to music and study at the same time. Soothing music can help some students focus, while any choice of music can be a distraction for other students.
Trend
Many teens listen to music while they study. In fact, many juggle their listening and studying with other tasks such as emailing, instant messaging and watching television. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 53 percent of teens 12 to 17 do something else while studying. At 87 percent, listening to music was the most popular side activity for those who balanced studying with another activity. This generation of teens is growing up multitaskers, and the lure of computers, televisions and iPods is too great for today’s teens to ignore even while doing homework.
Distraction
Trying to do more than one thing at a time means you’re not entirely focused on anything. A University of Toronto study found that fast, loud music hinders reading comprehension. The music agitates rather than focuses the studier, and researcher Glenn Schellenberg likened it to trying to learn while riding a roller coaster. A University College London study found that both introverted and extroverted undergraduate students performed worse on a reading comprehension test when pop music was played. A memory test for adult participants at the University of Wales met with similar results: Listening to music hampered the test takers.
Mozart Effect
But not all music is bad for all students. Sometimes, soothing music or classical music can help a student focus. One British study claims listening to Mozart for 10 minutes produced a “Mozart effect” where test-takers’ IQ scores went up 8 or 9 points. A Bulgarian psychologist employed the method of playing Baroque era music, which plays at a tempo of 60 beats per minute, to help students learn foreign languages. After the 30-day course, the average retention rate per student was 92 percent. Even four years later, when students had not reviewed the material, most remembered the foreign language lesson.
Individual Predispositions
The effect of music on students varies depending on the music and the student. The "Journal of Communication" studied whether listening to music affected eighth graders’ homework performance. The results were inconclusive. The U.S. Department of Education has concluded that quiet background music can help some children focus, but tells parents to turn off loud music from CD players, radios and televisions when their children study. The potential for distraction is too great from these music sources, according to government experts.本回答被提问者采纳
