Here at Flashnotes, we love a good music. One of my favorite quotes from travelling abroad comes from a random girl at the airport that I will never forget, “I just, like, don’t like bad music. You know? I, like, only listen to good music”.
Yes, yes. We hear you loud and clear. In honor of “good music” everywhere, we have created a couple of studying playlists and new ways to check out some great studying music.
Listening to music is a great way to boost your energy level and maintain concentration. Some people find it hard to study without some sort of background noise. Instead of blaring the TV and becoming distracted with the latest episode of Archer, throw on one of these playlists and step into the zone.
Our favorite playlists based on musical preference
EDM– There’s nothing like an upbeat EDM song to put you into the “getting stuff done” mood. Songza has great playlists to put you in the mood.
Classical– I love classical music as much as the next person, so I’m really happy that Songza puts it all in one place. If you’re looking for more, Evan Duffy does amazing piano covers of EDM songs.
Hip-Hop-Frat Music is great for whatever mood you’re in- whether you need to speed write a paper or study those flashcards.
Dr. Roy J. Paget suggests that music can be a powerful vehicle for learning, and that its rhythms, patterns, contrasts and varying tonalities can help to encode new information. He states that music does this by evoking emotional responses, stimulating the limbic system along with other subcortical regions. This basically means that if you listen to music while studying, you will have an easier time creating long term memories. For college students everywhere, that’s music to our ears.
