Sometimes I listen to some lounge music, mostly on the radio. Classical music also good to me, but in general, anything else only distracts me

Yes, there are lot of lofi playlists on Youtube I listen to while writing. They are pretty good for a background noise and don't distract you too much.

I don't listen to music, it distracts. But I have a friend who listens to music while writing an essay, it doesn't distract him.

Most of the people get distracted upon hearing music while they are studying or writing any paper. But students listen music when they copy notes, not when they write their own.But there are some people who listen music even while they are studying.

Hello!
Does music help you to concentrate on your studying or distract?
Look forward to hear from you

I listen to mellow music when I want to read something or writing some reports but when studying I don't do some music.

Classical music might be a good choice, as it can tend to calm the nerves and help you focus. On the other hand, listening to loud, raucous music that's distracting can have the opposite effect by keeping your mind preoccupied with the music rather than the subject matter at hand.
