Re: Why Music Is Helpful for Concentration
#3Ever since I first heard it as a teenager, Steve Reich’s “Music for 18 Musicians” has been my go to focus music. Almost 20 years later I still put it on if I really am having a hard time getting into a zone of concentration.
It’s also a beautiful piece of music to just lay back and listen to, doing nothing else but meditating on the music. Highly recommended.

#4Nary a study cited indicating that music benefits concentration. I wonder why? The research by and large shows silence is golden when it comes to staying focused and on task.

#5The article is predictably coy about the fact that music is, well, bad for concentration. Studies tend to find that people work better in a quiet environment. [0]
The article is rather scattershot, with much of it having nothing to do with music.

#6I don't believe evidence supports music being an aid to concentration directly. However, it does make some tasks more tolerable and might extend the time a person is willing to spend on it. Whether the trade-off is worth it, depends on the individual.
I will also add that some tasks don't require high levels of concentration, just sustained attention - for example porting code from one similar codebase to another.

Yeah, it would be honest. But I would like to see any researches saying it does not working

Thanks for good paper! As far as I can tell, the paper says about compare two groups: first was listening music with lyrics and second was listening music without lyrics?
