Ever felt that some music just stimulates your mind into working better? Here we will discuss some genres of music that are great for studying and working out your brain!

How often do you pick up your favourite music to relax and unwind? Well, some studies show that listening to certain kinds of music while studying and working out the mind is just not helpful. Well, the music shouldn't be distracting but should actually be used for its mental, physical and emotional effects.

Dr. John Anderson, author of ‘The Best and Worst Tunes for Reading’, stated that studying and working out the mind should not be done in the same music.

Music should be listened to when the concentration is higher than usual, such as while studying for an exam, while practicing a sport, while making a paper model, and so on. For a social purpose, music such as classical, blues, jazz or bluegrass are also great.

The most popular genres that are great for studying and working out the brain are:

Jazz: is full of different elements that enhance the memory, creativity and recall of facts and ideas, so it is great for thinking more, especially when looking for answers in a textbook.

• The key to jazz is slow tempo and long silences. When the brain is immersed in the relaxing, meditative beats, its focus is naturally piqued and the learning is enhanced.

Blues: is also the perfect choice for studying and working out the brain, as it uses fewer notes and only a small range of sounds than jazz and blues, which allow you to have a better concentration, as you can sing along.

• The key to blues is that the lyrics have to be in line with the rhythm of the music. The loud, overpowering sounds help you to concentrate and revise.

Classic Rock: has a variety of different chords in different octaves, making it the best choice for mixing and mastering all kinds of different notes.

• The keys are emphasized, making it easy for the mind to be focusing on the melody and lyrics.

R&B and Hip Hop: can give you the feeling of running down a street and bursting in the middle of a club, there are a variety of different beats and songs.

• For studying, the beats can easily be integrated with the rhythms of the notes.
