Introduction
Listening to music while studying has become a usual practice in the student population.
In the modern era of technology, many students listen to music while studying. This trend raises
a question on how music effects one’s concentration and academic performance during the study.
There is a popular term coined ‘The Mozart effect’ which shows that listening to classical music
such as Mozart help increase intellectual quotient (IQ) in spatial reasoning. Rauscher et al., in
1993 hypothesized that neurons in brain fire at a sequence that can be stimulated by specific
Music can have a profound effect on both the emotions and the body. Faster music can
make you feel more alert and concentrate better. Upbeat music can make you feel more
optimistic and positive about life. A slower tempo can quiet your mind and relax your muscles,
making you feel soothed while releasing the stress of the day. Music is effective for relaxation
Modern behavior of people and activities sometimes cause us pressure and mental issues.
Many societies across the globe are experiencing the psychological issues and stress several
statistical data imply that teenagers, children and adults where primary develop stage of people
who can be cured by focusing and listening to the different kinds of music. Many musicians find
their genre amusing or good for all, not just for themselves, therefore writing down their
emotions and experiences with music can give people advice and open their eyes and help them
and relax. Music also allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience in our
lives. Mostly people live because of music it says, "There is growing scientific evidence
showing that the brain responds to music in very specific ways," Lisa Hartling, PhD, professor of
pediatrics at the University of Alberta and lead author of the study. "Playing music for kids
during painful medical procedures is a simple intervention that can make a big difference."
The study attempts to identify whether listening to music while studying has an effect to the
academic performance of Grade 12 ICT and HUMMS 12 students of GRPMHS. This chapter
1. How does listening to music affect the academic performance of the student?
A. What type of music does the student help to concentrate in their study?
B. What are the effect of listening to music that help the student to focus on their study?
The Scope of this research is to find the effect of overall music to the academic performance
The study conducted by the researchers are only delimited to Grade 12 ICT and HUMMS
12 students
The main purpose of this research is to find out if music is a bad thing or a good thing for
the academic performances of these students that the researchers are interviewing
performance of the Grade 12 ICT and HUMMS students, considering that music plays an
important role to the mentality or mindset of the students. The greater demand for students that
are having mental and emotional problems justifies the needs of relaxant and calmative activities.
Study focus on the one of the most common way to deal with this issue and help the students
focus on their academics is to listen to their beloved or favorite music. For the researchers, the
study will help them uncover deeply the effectiveness and the critical areas in the educational
process that many researchers were not able to explore Benefiting the study are various sector as

Music can improve memory, increase attention, focus concentration, and release tension
(Brewer, 1995). Based on the extant research, the results have shown that multiple ways of
including music into the classroom can be beneficial to the students. Whether the music is mixed
into the background noise or is within an active part of learning a new definition or phrase, music
has been proven to help increase retention of information, and fuel brain cognition.
Hallam and Price (1998) investigated the impact of background music on student behavior, in
addition to academic achievement. The results showed that sessions including background music
had a significantly increased number of correct answers. These studies have also shown that
music can have these positive influences on a variety of learners, even those with learning
disabilities.
Gilbert Galindo (2003) Characters of varying degree that are found in music, can affect one's
mood. Music can raise someone's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed.
Music also - and this is important - allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we
experience in our lives. The possibilities are endless. Studies have found that people may be
better at solving problems when they are in a positive mood compared to when they are in a
negative or neutral mood. Music that is relaxing also helps students with stress and anxiety, thus
(Ziv & Dolev, 2013) Background music can be used to create a positive atmosphere. Background
music can student behavior, as well as physiological, emotional and cognitive processes. Every
day, people intuitively use music to create a desired atmosphere and regulate their moods.
Hills Orford (2013) noted that music has been a part of the public education curriculum in the
According to Edutopia (2014) music was used as an advocate for other content areas and to
manage behaviors in the classroom. (Stanford, 2012) Regardless of the grade level, there were
specific components that were taught in band or chorus classes: theory and practical knowledge,
(Teachology, n.d.). At the elementary level, music teachers have utilized singing, dancing, and
musical instruments such as the recorder and keyboard along with others to enhance student
learning. At the secondary level, students were often given the choice to participate in an
ensemble such as band or chorus, both of which helped to enhance a student’s metacognitive and
fine motor skills. In general, the ensembles offered for highest school students included
orchestra, choir, band, marching band, jazz band, and marching band.
