INTRODUCTION

Music is a factor that allows to digest emotions and reinforce determination when people are
overwhelmed. People frequently resort to music that they can relate to in order to cope with stress. So,
if university life gets you feeling gloomy, bewildered, or preoccupied, it would be a good idea to listen to
some music. It will not only help you focus on your studies, but it will also keep tension at bay and put
you in a learning attitude. You've probably heard that music may help you study. But do you realize why
your parents and professors are advising you to listen to iTunes? Music has been proved in studies to
have a variety of beneficial impacts on the human body and brain. Music engages both the left and right
brains at the same time, and activating both hemispheres helps optimize learning and memory.
Learning about the effects of music on your body and brain, as well as how to use songs to help you
study is a big benefit for improving one's study.

SCIENTIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MUSIC

The psychology of music is a very deep study. Just because a song or a genre is described as uplifting or
gloomy doesn't mean that it will compel you to change your mood. Another recent study by researchers
at the University of Missouri revealed strong correlations between how people listen to music and how
it can be used to lessen melancholy or even increase happiness.

The study discovered that listening to the upbeat, positive music of the American rock band Copeland
actually helped participants who were told to try to boost their mood. Others who didn't receive
instructions didn't display the same benefits, either. So, if you're trying to be happier, it makes sense to
say that listening to pleasant music will make you happier. Additionally, the "sad" Stravinsky music had
little impact on mood; instead, it was important to be self-motivated.

However, many researches come to the conclusion that sad music provides a catharsis to people who
are already feeling depressed rather than functioning as a "downer." People are able to deal with their
emotions in a more constructive way by connecting with the ones who are creating them.

WHAT IS MUSIC?

Music is a kind of art that combines vocal or instrumental sounds for aesthetic beauty or emotional
expression, typically in accordance with cultural norms for harmony, melody, and rhythm. The simple
folk song and the intricate electronic composition both fall within the umbrella of music. Both have been
conceptually and acoustically constructed by humans, and both may be found in music of all genres and
from all eras of history. Every human community is infused with music in one way or another. There are
so many different types of modern music that it is mind-boggling, some of them created in more recent
times, some in earlier ones. Music is a versatile art form that lends itself well to symbiotic relationships
with both verbal and physical movement, as in song and dance. Music has always been a significant
complement to ritual and drama and has been recognized for its ability to both reflect and affect human
emotion. Radio, film, television, musical theater, and the Internet are some of the most prominent
examples of how popular culture has continuously taken advantage of these opportunities today. The
implications of music's use in psychotherapy, geriatrics, and advertising reflect a belief in its capacity to
influence behavior.
HOW IS MUSIC RELATED TO STUDYING?
According to studies, music has a variety of advantageous impacts on the body and brain of people. Both
the left and right hemispheres of the brain are simultaneously stimulated by music, and this dual
stimulation can promote learning and enhance memory. Learn how music affects your body and mind
and how to use music to help you learn!

Music can reduce stress - This is the ideal excuse to study your class notes while music is playing
because it has been shown to lower tension. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center,
pupils should "listen to music. People with and without health issues can both benefit from music's
ability to relieve stress. According to research, listening to calming music can help heart patients feel
less anxious and have lower blood pressure and heart rates (UMD Medical Center). This claim
demonstrates the potent impact songs by themselves may have on the body. In order to reduce stress
before starting a study session, turn on the radio.

Music can Reduce anxiety - Anxiety can obstruct pupils from accessing their textbooks in a devastating
way. How do students overcome it? Let's imagine that during your academic career, you were provided
with a complimentary, relaxing massage before and after each study session. As you reread your notes,
your feelings of stress and worry would decrease. While the average college student may find it
challenging to accomplish this, students throughout the world may easily access the next best thing.
Unbelievable as it may seem, according to USA Today, "one study revealed that music's impact on
anxiety levels is comparable to that of receiving a massage" (Christ). It is now shown that listening to
your favorite music can ease anxiety as much as a massage.

It will help you focus more - Researchers at Stanford University used musical compositions from the
1800s in their study and discovered that "music engages the parts of the brain associated with paying
attention, making predictions, and updating the experience in memory" rather than distracting college
students (Baker). The researchers assert that "the goal of the study was to look at how the brain sorts
out events, but the research also revealed that musical techniques used by composers 200 years ago
help the brain organize incoming information." They believe that music preference had an impact on
brain processing (Baker). Students can organize material with the aid of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven,
which is a useful skill for learning.
