Started Aug. 5, 2022

Abstract or project description

In pursuit of academic excellence, students often seek various strategies to enhance their productivity. One contender in this quest is music, a ubiquitous companion in the lives of students of this era. But does Music genuinely bolster academic performance or is it a delightful distraction? This study tries to decipher the intricate relationship between listening to music and academic productivity, focusing on IB diploma and high school students. With 100 student participants, this study explored the impact of music, gender differences, and different music genres on concentration and recall. Surprisingly and country to common belief, the results revel that listening to music did not significantly correlate with scholastic performance. Gender, it seems is no determinant of this outcome and even the diverse tapestry of music genres did not have any significant effect on concentration. The findings of this study challenge conventional belief, urging further inquiry into the intriguing interplay of music and academic performance.
