Answer 1

Israel Kamakawiwo`ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Answer 2

Hi,

I'd go for anything that has a beat around 60bpm. Have a look at this link for more information about music speeds helping to "connect" both sides of the Brain.

“Dr. Georgi Lozanov, the renowned Bulgarian psychologist, developed a methodology for teaching foreign languages that used baroque music with a beat pattern of about 60 beats per minute. Students learned in a fraction of the normal time. In a single day, one half of the normal vocabulary and phrases for the term (up to 1000 words or phrases) were learned. In addition, an added benefit was that the students had an average of 92% retention of what they had learned! Dr.Lozanov has proven conclusively that by using certain Baroque pieces, foreign languages can be mastered with 85-100% effectiveness in 30 days, when the usual time is 2 years. Students learning with the Baroque Music were able to recall their second language with nearly 100% accuracy even after they had not studied it for four years!”

Also, how about looking into the "Phonics" angle, to see if you can find / create something to help you?

Might sound crazy, but I've often started with Children's books / material when I want to learn something. (I mean, just look how successful the "..For Dummies" books are)

Answer 3

I am not sure where people are coming up with this stuff. It seems to me that you would want to go upon researched items and it is proven by studies that classical music actually increases a persons ability to concentrate as well as to solve problems more efficiently and in more creative manners. Of course, every study has a few outliers. Therefore I must say that 5 out of 100 people the music had adverse effects and 2 the music had no effect whatsoever.

Answer 4

You should listen to the song Schools Out for the Summer or Another Brick in the Wall when revising.

Answer 5

If you find that you need to listen to music, make sure that you do not know the words to it. But try classical music. I never believed this actually worked, until I tried it myself. I was amazed on how concentrated I was on my work. I was not distracted for 3 hours, and there was so much going on around me!

Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

Music is no good when you are revising. When trying to recall the required information in an exam, your brain will be waiting for the music.
Try using aftershaves or perfumes on the pages and wear the same scents when you are doing the exams.

Answer 7

I've heard that classical music helps stimulate the brain. When I study I like to listen to that or Dave Mathews older stuff. Good luck!

Answer 8

Well
As parents, you're the most important first step in your children's journey into the wonderful world of reading. It is up to you to create the most supportive environment that turns your child on to reading - such as reading aloud to them often during the day and before bedtime, and placing age appropriate books for children around the house, so that the child will have access to plenty of books. Reading often to your child will help develop their interest in books and stories, and soon they will want to read stories on their own.

Hope it helps.

Answer 9

When they have studied these things they have always come to the conclusion that rock music is detrimental, whilst classical music is conducive to the intellect, with Baroque being a positive boon. It takes all sorts though, I drift off to sleep at night to any type of metal music.

Answer 10

Listening to music was the only thing that kept me sane throughout uni.. i listen to loads of stuff, but mainly a mixture of heavy metal and indie/emo.. Nymphatamine girl by cradle of filth.. or anything by Nightwish.
