How Classical Piano Music Can Affect Your Writing
The other day I bought a CD that has a mix of classical piano music and listened to it while I did my work. Usually it’s hard for me to write while music is playing, but this piano music actually helped my writing instead of hindering it. It was as if I was writing the words to the music and I could just feel the creative energy flowing through me.
I came across this interesting study on first graders in a New York City school. They wanted to know the effects of listening to slow tempo classical music on the children’s on-task performance. What they found was that when the music was played during writing time, the children’s on-task behavior increased by 7.7%. There was also a decrease in the overall classroom noise level. Read the document from the study here.
I noticed that I, too, am able to stay on-task while I listened to this piano music. I tend to get ADD while I’m writing — stopping to take a break every ten minutes to check my website stats or email. However, I’m more focused now during writing because I listen to this classical piano music.
