How does lstening to classical music help with school work?

I only understand calc II when I listen to classical music and i cant take my ipod to the test lol, but anyway how does that help ppl concentrate?

Studies have shown that listening to music while studying actually reduces concentration. My guess is that you are not actively listening to the music (which requires concentration on the music), but perhaps listening passively to drown out ambient sounds. It is also possible that you are a rare case, but I don’t think it applies to most other people. Science has never shown that listening to any music (classical or otherwise) while performing a task helps in the performance of that task.

Listening to some music that you like before doing something can help you relax, however.

    it relaxes the brain, relieves stress. if it helps you, listen to the music before school, get it stuck in your head, and then play it back. for me its like i always have an orchestra or band or symphony stuck in my head. im like mozart :P heh heh heh. no because im not a musical genius and im not a guy and i want born a forever ago.

    answer please!
