The Impact of Music on Learning and Motivation: Principles and Recommendations
When we read, we are actually saying the words in our heads. Music can improve learning and motivation, both mentally and physically. Listening to music before a task can boost motivation. For cognitive tasks like reading, silence or certain types of noise is best. If listening to music, instrumental music without lyrics is ideal. Familiar lyrics are the least helpful. There are studies to support these findings.
