Listen. What's that in the background? Is it rock, country or classical music?
"Music makes both the left and right brain more active， and this can maximize（使最大化）learning and improve our memory,"says Dr. Masha Godkin,a professor at Northcentral University.
According to Godkin, it's good to listen to classical music while you are studying. You can also listen to meditation（冥想）music， which can relieve stress and relax your mind.
It is helpful to create a playlist of the best study music. Everyone's taste in music is different, but when it comes to creating the best study music playlist, here are some tips to consider:
● Go Classical
You may not want to go to a concert of classical music, but the sounds of the classical music seem to increase mood and productivity（效率）
● Consider Tempo
It seems that music with 60—70 beats a minute like Beethoven's Fur Elise can help students study longer and memorize more information.
● Nature Sounds
They make great background noise. You can even create your own mix with websites like Noisli.
● Electronic Music
Electronic music is a great choice for those who don't like classical. Any music with little to no lyrics is best.
● Sound Control
The volume of your study music is important. Don't drown out（淹没）your own thoughts. Remember, it's supposed to be in the background.
