I can't work in complete silence - I need external stimulation. I would always study with the TV or radio playing - or I would hum or drum - or take a break and play my bass guitar.Evo said:I can't have music on when I work because I find it distracting. I work in silence.
Bach keyboard music, that is: anything he originally wrote for harpsichord or clavichord, doesn't have those sudden changes in dynamics. Most of this has an "intellectual", "cerebral" sounding complexity to it that suggests a mind working out some difficult problem. I find this is nice background sound for when I'm concentrating on a drawing. It's not "toe-tapping", though. That would just get in the way of putting the lines where I want them.chroot said:I like classical music, but it's useless for me. Most classical music does not have enough of a well-defined beat to keep my toe tapping (which, for some reason, seems to be a requirement for me), and the sudden, extreme changes in volume drive me absolutely bonkers.
I know symphonies work hard to achieve those pianissimos and FORTISSIMOS but it just drives me nuts to have the two extremes in volume separated by fifteen seconds. I often feel that I can't hear half of the song, and the other half makes me want to claw the headphones off my head like I'm being attacked by a swarm of bees.
I love the Goldbergs.Hootenanny said:I must admit I have to have some quietmusic on when I'm studying. Loud music or no music is no good for me. My music of choice at the moment is The Goldberg Variations by Bach ...

Just some guy said:Whatever junk's blasting out of the radio to be honest, but preferably rock or pop at a modest volume, and I can put up with classical music as long as it's not late-Baroque (no, your harpsichord is not loud enough for a solo yet :P)
Numerous studies have shown that listening to music while working can improve productivity. This is because music can help to improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase focus and concentration.
The type of music that is best for working varies from person to person. Some people prefer instrumental music, while others find lyrics distracting. It is important to find music that you personally find enjoyable and helps you to focus.
In some cases, music can hinder productivity. This is typically seen in tasks that require a lot of attention and focus, such as reading or writing. In these cases, it is best to listen to music without lyrics or to listen to music during breaks rather than while performing the task.
The volume of the music should be low enough to not be distracting, but loud enough to provide a background noise. It is recommended to keep the volume at or below 70 decibels, which is about the level of a normal conversation.
Yes, listening to music while working has been shown to improve creativity. This is because music can stimulate the brain and help to break through mental blocks. However, the type of music and volume may vary for each individual, so it is important to find what works best for you.
