High school can be a challenging time for students, with balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and social life. Many students turn to music to help them concentrate and stay focused while studying. To understand the genre of music that appeals to senior high school students while studying, we conducted a survey.
The survey aimed to gather insights into the music preferences of senior high school students and how it impacts their studying experience. We collected responses from a diverse group of students to get a comprehensive understanding of their preferences.
With a total of 20 questions, the survey covered various aspects related to music and studying. The questions ranged from the frequency of listening to music while studying to the preferred genre of music and the impact of tempo and volume on concentration.
The survey used different question types, including single-choice, multiple-choice, and open-ended questions. Single-choice questions allowed respondents to select one answer from a predefined set of options, while multiple-choice questions allowed them to choose multiple options. Open-ended questions provided an opportunity for students to provide their own thoughts and opinions.
The survey revealed some interesting findings. Firstly, a majority of the students listened to music while studying, with frequency varying from rarely to always. The most popular genres among senior high school students were pop, rock, classical, and hip-hop. Instrumental music was found to be more helpful for concentration, but some students also enjoyed music with lyrics.
When it came to specific artists or bands, the survey showed a wide range of preferences, including Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift. Students had varying opinions on the tempo of music and its impact on concentration. Some preferred fast-paced music, while others found slow-tempo music more effective.
Furthermore, instrumental covers of popular songs were well-liked by many students. Piano, violin, guitar, and flute were mentioned as the most conducive instruments for studying. The volume level of music was also found to affect concentration, with some students preferring soft/low volume and others enjoying loud/high volume.
Interestingly, opinions on whether music is a distraction while studying were divided. While some students found it distracting, others found it helpful for focus. The preferred platforms for listening to music while studying varied, with streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube being popular choices.
As for creating custom study playlists, it was found that some students believed it enhanced their studying experience, while others did not find it necessary. The survey also gathered students' favorite songs or pieces of music that helped them concentrate, such as Clair de Lune by Debussy and Nocturnes by Chopin.
Overall, the survey indicated that listening to music while studying is a practice commonly adopted by senior high school students. It was found to enhance productivity for some students, while others preferred a quiet environment. The time of day and language preference of music were also found to have some influence on students' music choices while studying.
In conclusion, the Genre of Music Appeal Survey for Senior High School Students while Studying shed light on the diverse music preferences of senior high school students and their impact on studying.
