Hitting the books? Studies have shown that listening to piano music can improve your study session. Read on to find out why!
1. Increased Focus and Drive
When you play calming piano music as you study for your next big test, your mind remains focused on the information in front of you for extended periods without becoming overly fatigued. Your drive to study harder, and for longer periods of time, increases as the piano music primes your mind for learning.
2. Improved Information Retention
Do you ever feel like the information you learn while studying disappears as soon as the test hits the table? If so, you can play solo piano music to help your mind retain the information through the test period and beyond. A study by a university in France found that playing piano music in the background while studying allowed students to achieve higher marks on their tests compared to those who studied in silence. So, crank up the piano tunes to soak in the information with ease.
3. Decreased Stress and Anxiety
Piano music has the power to strike an emotional chord that dramatically reduces stress and test anxiety. Keep the music playing as you fall asleep to keep stress dissipating as you rest, allowing you to feel rejuvenated and ready to learn when you wake up in the morning.
