Does music help you study?
I just can't study or get anything into my head when there's music on. I listen to music a lot but not when I'm studying. My sister always cranks the music up and it drives me nuts because she says it helps her study. but sometimes she gets low marks so I kind of doubt it.

I could never study with music on. I'd just start singing the song! I know a lot of people do like to study with music on, but I really don't know how they can do it. They must be able to block it out somehow, but I've never been able to do that. But it's weird... when i'm driving, I can barely focus unless I DO have the radio cranked up! Go figure!

If I put music on while I'm studying, it's only for background noise and not for actual listening. Sometimes I'll put the TV on low and I'll switch it to the news or something so I won't be more interested in it than my studies.
I can't stand studying in dead silence. It's too easy for my mind to wander. :)
But if you can focus perfectly fine in the silence, then that's wonderful. If your sister's music bothers you so much, ask her if she wouldn't mind using headphones so you can get your work done.

It kind of depends on how I'm focusing. Most of the time I study in silence, but sometimes I can turn on some kind of mellow music, like Jack Johnson. Most of the time I can't listen to music because I start focusing on the music and not what I'm doing. Everyone studies differently so you'll just have to try a few different things before you find something that really works for you.

it helps me study, but it annoys some of my friends when they study. It just depends on the person. and with your sister if she gets low marks, she might have something else on her mind, or she might just not understand it totally.
Well i hope i helped.

I remember at school, the teacher made us listen to classical music. It actually helped the class to calm down and concentrate on their work.
I guess it depends on the person and the type of music being played, though. I don't normally like sounds when I'm trying to work, but the exercise with the classical music was interesting.
Back to the point, what works for your sister won't always work for you. Even if she gets lower marks, it just means she doesn't have a hard time trying to concentrate like you do.
If you don't like music playing, talk to her about it and ask her to turn it down/off. Or if you can, move to a quieter area.

Music can help you study especially when you have those more-than-boring subjects that need a little life added to it. if music is played low then it could be a nice addition to your quiet study. It is probably better that you listen to some music that you can tolerate but don't really love to listen to. Think about it, if your favorite song comes on the radio are you really going to pay attention to how the derivative and the tangent can create a revolving object? That was Calculus by the way. Put on your second or third favorite genre of music so you don't pay that much attention to it.

This really varies from person to person.
Personally, I CAN NOT study when there's too much sound or music. It distracts me. It's not like I want to listen to it, but it throws my focus off; I just can't get anything done and I end up getting frustrated.
Unlike some of my friends.. they can NOT study if it's too quiet. They need some type of music on.
