Music While Studying!

Studying can get boring, and the way I tend to spice up the dreadful, long hours is by listening to music! Interestingly, my choice of music varies depending on the time of day, where I am, what I’m doing and that sort of thing.

In order to help you get through your studying process, I’ve compiled a few playlists (linked below):

As I am only studying maths this year, I find it alright to listen to music with lyrics or without them. However, I know this doesn’t apply to everyone, so I’ve divided my list into two; music with and without lyrics:

Without Lyrics: Some of these pieces are short, so I just add them to a pre-existing playlist – so feel free to add them to yours after listening to them.

1. Anything by Olafur Arnalds is great for studying – his music is breathtaking and is very soulful!
   • Vevo Playlist – P.S. His pieces are featured in Broadchurch (one of my favourite TV Shows of all time)
2. The Narnia Soundtrack – simply put, its amazing! There is a mix of both loud and soft tones – perfect to balance out studying. Click here for the link to the playlist
3. Piano Novel (this is the link to the youtube channel – however there is a Spotify playlist as well!)
4. Nuvole Bianche – amazing piece!
5. Moonlight Sonata – Extended version – Is any study playlist complete without it?
6. Pirates of the Caribbean – One Day by Hans Zimmer (this is short, so add to a playlist that you already have)

With Lyrics: Depending on what type of Genre I prefer at that moment:

1. Calming, relaxing music (not too lyrical)
   1. Power of Love – Cover by Gabrielle Aplin
   2. Kill Em With Kindness – Acoustic
   3. Hold On – Selena Gomez, Ben Kweller
   4. Safe and Sound 
   5. The Hanging Tree 
2. Rock/ fast paced:
   1. Anything by the X Ambassadors 
   2. Kaleo
   3. Run boy Run – WoodKid and others by them
3. Pop songs – there’s way more than this, these are just a few, I might even keep updating this as I go 🙂
   1. Sarah Close
   2. Waterfall SIA
   3. It ain’t me – Selena Gomez, Kygo
   4. Someone Like you – Hobbie Stuart (and other covers by him)

Best Wishes!
