Surely, yes. It is not a secret, that different people can do different activities within the period of learning and training itself. So part of them likes to listen to the music. Part of them is not. That is the reason you are looking for the opportunity to complete the task with the help of the favorite melodies or not. That is the main cause you are going to work as one of the questions there. To begin with, the first problem will be connected with the conditions and if the music helps. If yes, you will be the one to use it.

Listening to music will most probably restrict your thoughts. So, i don't think it's wise to do this.

In my case, i need silence to concentrate on studies or writing.

Yes Obviously I do!! So that I can speed up my writing... But I most of the times deal with online essay writing services

I agree with you, it helps save time for work and self-development!

Sometimes this mood happens, but I try to listen only to classical music. because a different genre will distract me.

I don’t.

Being a professional MBA essay editor with my company Impact Essay, I need to focus on other people’s ideas.

An MBA Essay has to be structured with words used sparingly and thoughtfully. Listening to music will make my words flow rhythmically. While that is great for creative writing, MBA essays evoke more critical thought and reflection. So no music! Just my opinion.
