TRANSCRIPT

Yes, I do listen to music when I study! I find it helps me get into the zone, especially when I’m working on something that requires a lot of focus. I usually put on instrumental or classical music because it doesn’t have lyrics, so it doesn’t distract me. It just sort of fades into the background while I concentrate.

TRANSCRIPT

When I want to relax, I like to listen to soft jazz or acoustic music. There’s something about the calming rhythms and melodies that help me unwind after a long day. Sometimes, I’ll even listen to nature sounds or ambient music, which has this amazing way of making me feel peaceful and grounded.

Does music help you focus, or does it distract you?
TRANSCRIPT

Music can sometimes be distracting for me, especially if it’s a song I know really well or if it has lyrics. I tend to get caught up in the words or the beat. But when I need to focus, I go for ambient or lo-fi music. It’s simple enough to not grab my attention but still creates a nice environment that helps me stay on task.
