What music should you listen to when working
Updated: Aug 29, 2020

Working or doing homework is something that requires deep focus. Music can help tune out the rest of the world and allow you to focus on your task. Here are some songs that you should listen to:
- Classical Music without any words makes sure that you do not jam to the words because by singing, you are losing focus on your assignment
Here are some recommendations:
- Canon in D – Johann Pachelbel
- Goldberg Variations - Johann Sebastian Bach
- Well-Tempered Clavier – Johann Sebastian Bach
- The Hours – Philip Glass
- Piano Concerto No. 23 – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Nature music, meaning sounds of the waves or waterfalls etc, can make you relax and calm which allows you to have a straight mind for focusing
Here are some recommendations:
- Wave sounds that are soothing
- Flowing streams or rivers
- Ocean Sounds
- Bird chirping near waterfalls
- Music that has 50 beats-80 beats per minute can enhance the creativity side of the brain which enables your focus more and actually finishing the work in a decent amount of time.
Here are some recommendations:
- Mirrors-- Justin Timberlake
- Superstar-- Lauryn Hill
- Chasing pavements-- Adele
- Wide Awake-- Katy Perry
- Any songs which allows you to tune it out while keeping you in focus is the right for you. An example of these would be songs that you listened before many times that you wouldn't have to actually listen to the song.
