J.K. Rowling claims that she avoids listening to music while working because it is destructing. I find it sometimes hard to concentrate on homework when the music is on, while I find doingother tasks more enjoyable while listening to music. Some top students rarely listen to music. In contrast, I find that many "average" students refuse to part with their iPods, and always have headphones on. Some people avoid listening to music because they believe that those who prefer listening to music during everyday tasks are afraid of thinking, and in effect are "escaping from thinking." What is your opinion on this? I understand music plays an important role in human development, but I haven't figured out what exactly is that role.
What effect does music have on concentration? Does music help you concentrate? What tasks do you find are best fitting to do while listening to music? Does the kind of music also matter (i.e., rock, classic, techno)?
Please give your thoughts on any of these issues
