Listening to music while studying?

Hi – I’ve started studying for the Junior Cert in the last few weeks (state exam – 10 subjects, bleh, in Ireland) and I’ve been looking up study tips. Everywhere I’ve read, I’m seeing ‘DO NOT listen to music’. I always listen to my iPod while I’m studying…nothing too big, easy listening stuff like Explosions in the Sky (<3) and maybe Regina Spektor/Lisa Mitchell. I do it because tbh it keeps me occupied and I don’t get tempted to get up and walk around and do stuff. I wouldn’t say it helps me with recalling information – just to actually keep at it.
I haven’t had a chance to test out if this is actually working or not…For class tests it’s usually just cram, cram, cram…I guess I’ll know when I have my mocks in February.
But for now – should I be listening to music while studying? Is it a bad idea? =/
Thanks!

It was popular, but for a short period of time. I’d say it would fall under the category of easy-listening music. Really dont know much more than this though… Someone help!!

Good Bars and Restaurants in Cincinnati?

My friends and I are going to be in Cincinnati in a few months for my birthday. We are wanting to go to a fairly decent restaurant that is more upscale, but not too expensive. We are also wanting to go to some bars. What are some good social bars to go to? One of our favorite bars to go to in our town is a piano bar…. but your recommendations don’t have to be limited to piano bars. We want to know of any good bars. Thanks

What kind of effect does music have on you?

By now, with all the fighting that happens in my dysfunctional family, I would have gone insane. Except I had something to drown out the yelling: music. I am an easy going person because of it. I get in a argument, listen to music, and I’m not mad anymore. In other words, it makes me super chill and happy.

What does music do for you?

I always find them when i’m downloading a song with vocal bits. so i figured the top treble bar was for the voice, but when i hear others playing the exact piece it sounds different to what i play.

i’m so confused, which two bars does the piano play? :\ please don’t tell me all three.

So, I’m looking for a Mozilla Firefox addon that will show what I’m currently listening to in Itunes, and let me change it without having to minimize or something. Does this exist?

of the 16 bars?
Or do they count the 16 bars from when you start singing?
Or are you supposed to mark the music so they only start playing the piano when you’re supposed to sing?
Does the 16 bars have to be from the beginning of the song or can it start anywhere?
I’m confused.

(Easy 10pts) What music should I check out? ?

I’ve been listening to a lot of piano music lately and have fallen in love with Nobuo Uematsu’s To Zanarkand from the Final Fantasy game. What would you recommend that I check out? Doesn’t necessarily have to be piano…just similar music…

Thanks!
