what do you guys think, does it help to listen to music while doing homework, or will it only distract me?

You should do a trial period of listening to music, and a trial period of not listening to music, and see how it works for you. I usually have music on, but block it out while I'm studying. It helps me concentrate to have something like that to block out. If you find you can't block it out (for example, if you sing along while you work), then you're probably better off without it.

I listen to music when I do my homework and although, I am a "musical learner" it's sometimes distracting, if I hear a song I really like I might stop working and sing along. Of course with MY math homework it helps. IT KEEPS ME AWAKE!!!!

Depends on your study habits and the kind of music you're listening to - I like listening to classical and New Age stuff while I'm studying. I think it helps =P

i used to listen to calm music or low sound songs just to the degree that i feel that there's a sound next to me but not distracting me.
for classical they will distract me cuz i enjoy listening to them so i'll listen and forget about study .
so i guess u try many kinds then u deside.

Some people can't multi-task in their brain-so everyone is different. My personal experience is : If the music is VERY familiar,then I can sorta listen to it while doing other mental tasks.If it's new music,I don't do as well cause my brain tries to sift thru lyrics and makes it difficult to do much else.

I used to listen to only classical music when doing my homework. When I tried listening to other music I found myself sidetracked bythe lyrics.

A lot of people say classical and stuff like that helps. It puts me to sleep. I normally crank up my favorites (i.e. MCR, Atreyu, HIM) when I study or do homework. It just depends on the person. Try it out.

I listen to classical music when I do my homework. I think it helps me stay focused, but all other music destracts me.

actually studies show listening to music helps you to learn...unfortunately for some its only classical that this applies to !
