Is it better to play slow music or fast music while working?

Question

While working, which type of music would be preferable to enhance concentration?

Answer 1

Depends on your mood and the kind of work you do. If you do physical type or energy type work, you want fast. If your work is cerebral, you want slow and fast will be agitating.

Answer 2

Fast music for me. It makes the day go by faster. Slow music can be depressing.

Answer 3

I think it depends on the worker. I prefer something that has a fast tempo and most of my co-workers do, too. However, we have an older gentleman that works with us who prefers elevator music. It's a matter of taste.

Answer 4

Well I find that when I rock out in the office I tend to get the urge to snap my boss in half when he says something stupid. However slow soothing music tends to put me to sleep. I would say something in between. Not to fast, not to slow.

Answer 5

well i never really lisn to slow music but ive always thought that fast music helps u keep...pumped up! ya thats the word im lookin 4.

Answer 6

I think it's a matter of personal taste. Some would say that no music would be best. I perfer to just put my ipod on shuffle and take what it gives me.

Answer 7

hmm i think slower music would relax you more, but some people work better relaxed, i think it depends on your personal preference. if i'm trying to concentrate, i put very low volume on, because if the volumes too high i get distracted.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Fast, Fast, and Faster, it keeps me pumped up and going.

Answer 10

It really depends on your self. I listen to fast one myself.
