https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli What genre of music do you listen to when you study/do homework? en-us 2022-03-24 14:24:33 UTC 2026-01-30 22:36:00 UTC hello@padlet.com noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128691449 Lauren, Sadie, and I were interested in seeing what type of music helps people be the most productive. Music has proven to be highly influential on the teenage brain. I personally have always enjoyed listening to calm pop music when I work. That genre of music sort of plays in the background creating little distraction but managing to keep me focused and on task. Despite my personal preference I've heard that classical music is more beneficial in creating a productive space for us to work. Regardless of the scientific reasoning as to why this may be true, we all have our preferences. I think it's interesting to see how people work and what they feel is most helpful for them when trying to focus. We are going to send out a survey to the whole grade asking what they listen to when they study then asking what their grade average is to see if there is any pattern or correlation.]]> 2022-04-04 13:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128691449 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128699103 2022-04-04 13:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128699103 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128708193 2022-04-04 14:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2128708193 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159102384 2022-04-26 18:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159102384 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159105404 2022-04-26 18:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159105404 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159135913 My first source talks about how students who listen to classical music are generally more relaxed and perform 12% better on tests than those who do not. ]]> 2022-04-26 19:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159135913 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159137966 My sources direct readers to believe that listening to classical music improves productivity, anxiety, and improves our sleep schedules. ]]> 2022-04-26 19:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159137966 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159138352 The issue with classical music is that it has the power to reduce blood pressure. The lack of lyrics and tranquil melodies reduce anxiety because they don't leave the brain feeling overwhelmed. The issue is that sometimes classical music is so relaxing it puts us to sleep. ]]> 2022-04-26 19:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159138352 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159143235 Classical music has proven to be very relaxing but we can't have students getting tired while working. Calm may be a good thing however sleepy is not!]]> 2022-04-26 19:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2159143235 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164574822 One source explains that classical music helps the brain focus. In order to figure out if this is true, I suggest we put 30 people in a room with classical music for two hours and order them to work individually on the same task. Then we put 30 different people in a quiet room and make them do the same thing. At the end we check the quality and quantity of both groups work.]]> 2022-04-29 16:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164574822 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164578172 One source talks about how silence is good for people when working. A similar experiment as the one before can be conducted to prove this. This time the treatment group is the group in silence., and we create more groups playing different kinds of music and/or allowing speaking among the people in the group.]]> 2022-04-29 16:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164578172 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164583258 Some sources say that classical music is good for reducing stress. The way I think we can prove this is selecting a group of students and have half of them listen to 1 hour of classical music a day for a month while letting the others listen to 1 hour of their normal music for a month. Then we survey them on how anxious they feel. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164583258 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164588101 Some sources say that classical music induces sleep. To prove this I think we should conduct an experiment in which one group listens to 10 minutes of classical music before going to sleep and another group doesn't. We then pay attention to their brain movement and see which group on average takes less time to fall asleep. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164588101 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164590850 Some sources say that listening to movie scores and cinematic music motivates the brain. To test this I think we conduct a similar experiment as I listed before. We put half of a population in a room working on a certain task and listening to movie scores and see if they are more productive than people in a silent room doing the same task. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164590850 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164594291 One source explains that listening to your favorite kind of music makes you work more efficiently. To test this we can observe a group working on a task listening to their individual favorite music and compare it to people working in silence. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164594291 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164597850 One source says that soothing nature sounds like waves and rushing water can enhance cognitive function (concentration and focus). To test this we conduct the same experiment with one group listening to nature sounds and another in silence and compare their productivity. We can also survey each person afterwards about how the sounds made them feel and focus in their own opinion. ]]> 2022-04-29 16:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2164597850 noasimoncelli https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2165503927 2022-04-30 22:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/noasimoncelli/noa_simoncelli/wish/2165503927
