Everybody has a study routine that works for them. For a lot of people, listening to music or having background noise is crucial to their focus. Find out what some of your fellow Curtin students listen to while they study.
Max, Tourism and Hospitality and Marketing
“My top 3 study music choices are: peaceful/relaxing music when I read or study, as it keeps my mind focused on the content I am trying to understand; dance/inspiring music when I write assignments as it gives me the motivation to write and keep focused on the task I am completing; and classical music when I read or study for exams, as it allows my mind to relax and focus on the content.”
Veena, Speech Pathology
“I love classical music when I am studying. It’s actually been proven to make you more receptive to information. On study breaks, I like to listen to comedians to unwind.”
Olivia, Human Resource Management and Management
“I listen to lofi study music, ‘Deep Concentration’ (Spotify) or classical music (Beethoven, Mozart etc). I find listening to music with no lyrics most effective, as I don’t get distracted by singing along. I find fast paced classical or electronic music the best as I find it makes me feel more motivated to write.”
Hayley, Accounting and Law
“For me, any music I listen to whilst studying has to be instrumental, since lyrics mess up my ability to read at the same time. Classical, lo-fi, or ambient music always works well!”
