Study with music: a good choice!

06-11-2018

And, despite what may seem, scientific studies show that music and concentration are good allies. The University of California goes further and tells us what we have to listen specifically to improve our performance in visual and spatial reasoning: "Sonata for piano in D major".

 

And what is the reason for this increase in concentration? The protagonists are alpha waves, which are those that increase in those moments of relaxation, especially just before falling asleep.

 

Surely it has ever happened to you: you have been trying to remember something all day, and no matter how hard you try, there is no way to come to mind. At night, you lie on the bed, relax and ... zas! Just now that you were not thinking about that, the answer appears! Thanks alpha waves!

 

And it is that these waves are associated with memory, and it is shown that Mozart's music stimulates them, so nothing better than "doparte" with Mozart's music during exams to enhance your memory and concentration.

 

If you do not like classical music, Mozart will not work for you, as these studies also show that it is important that you like the music you are listening to.

 

If that is your case, here are some tips to create the perfect playlist, with Mozart's forgiveness, for exam time:

 

Forget the music with lyrics or irremediably you will end up singing. If you are going to choose it, at least try to make it in a language that you do not understand the lyrics, to avoid getting lost in the story
