What is some good classical music I should listen to while studying?

I recommend only listening to what will not distract you from your studies. BQ 1: Yes, but you will enjoy the music more when not studying and thus able to devote your full attention to it. BQ 2: Older than whom? Everyone except the most recently born person is older than someone. Classical music is for whoever chooses to listen to it.

Q1: No. I don't think you should be listening to classical (or any) music while studying ... unless you are studying that particular piece of music. Q2: No. Classical is not only for older people; but older people tend to have more appreciation for it because they don't treat music as background noise.

I like listening to classical piano music. On itunes theres some good deals on piano music. Search for 'moura lympany' and 'Chopin Preludes' and 'ultimate piano classics' BQ 1: YES. I listen to all sorts of music when I'm doing homework. Rock,pop, alternative, and classical. Whatever I'm in the mood for. BQ 2: NO. I am 13.

You can listen any music if it would not hurt you. I know a lot fo young people who love classical music. It depends on the internal needs of people.

I think most of the people who answered before me suffer from the misconception created by the 'Mozart Effect' experiments done in the 1950s, that supposedly showed that playing Mozart for your baby could increase its IQ, that listening to structured baroque music could help you concentrate, and that playing the same music to plants would stimulate them while playing pop music killed them. Somehow, these terribly done studies received enough publicity to ingrain a stupid idea in our collective consciousness that 'classical music makes you smarter'. Properly conducted research (i.e. research not designed to give the desired results) has shown that any sort of music is more likely to hinder your ability to concentrate rather than increase it, unless you have conditioned yourself to study with music in the background through years of doing so. Even in that case, your concentration is no greater than it would have been without conditioning; you just can't achieve the same level of concentration without background music because you have learned to associate music with studying. I would guess that, in your case, you have not conditioned yourself in this way, so it would be detrimental for you to listen to obtrusive music while studying, at least until you DO become conditioned. It's not as if listening to music is horribly detrimental to study; this simply depends on how much you can focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by the music. I've been able to read Shakespeare and listen to Mahler at the same time without a loss in concentration on the former, but that's because I had pretty much tuned out the music. The brain can only process so much information on a conscious, semantic level; hence we have trouble listening to two people talk at once, or watching two different images at once. There is no special property of classical music (or, more specifically, Baroque music) that increases your capacity to concentrate. If you're actually studying the music, then there's a good chance that it will 'make you smarter' (good studies have shown the net positive effect of music training on intelligence, likelihood to succeed, etc.); however, if you're trying to study anything else, even music theory or a different piece of music, a 'light' Bach or Vivaldi piece playing in the background is more likely to hurt than help. I've already talked enough; I won't try to address the idea that 'classical' music is for the elderly. Hopefully the other answerers have convinced you by now that that's ridiculous.

Classical music is the standard for enjoying professional quality music . Listen to your public radio station or stream in stations on iTunes or similar. It may take some time to find a station you like., but it'll be worth it. Classical guitar may be nice for your study time. Very pleasant. I enjoy Vivaldi, Mozart, J.S. Bach, C.P.E Bach, and many others. Take into consideration what the pieces of music where originally composed for when you enjoy the cornucopia of sounds you're listening to. On the other hand, more newer classical music is not so much as structured and refined in beauty as the earlier century composers and is to me quite annoying and scatter-brained . New Classical seems to totally miss a higher authority to whom they compose their music to, thus missing a devotion to beauty and liveliness. Classical music is for everyone! There's so much history and so much to learn from it.

Yes it will help when studying, not it's not for old people.

Classical music is shown to improve brain and memory function. When I was at school I used to study to Vanessa Mae's CD. She is a violin prodigy and plays classical music with an electric violin, which kinda has a rock feel to it. Look her up on iTunes.

I am currently listening to classical music while typing a paper. just wanted to see what others think about the same thing lol. I use AIMs radio station plug in on the bottom haha it feels like im breezing through my homework !
