Listening to music can have a positive effect on your concentration and therefore on your memory. In addition, you can use rhythm and music as an aid in learning. Putting the information on music makes it easier to remember. Your brain is very good at linking music and language. This memory technology will not work well for everyone, but it is certainly worth trying out; also for people who do not have a musical talent.

It is often claimed that some types of music ensure that you can concentrate better. Especially by listening to classical music you would be able to learn or remember more in a limited time. The effect of classical music on your brain, however, is not indisputably fixed. Scientists are also unaware of which types of music have a positive effect on your memory and which are not.

What music can at least provide is that you can keep reading or learning longer. Many parents are irritated by the fact that their (adolescent) children listen to music while doing homework. However, it has not been proven at all that listening to music has a negative effect on learning performance. When listening to music makes it easier to learn for a long time, it is certainly worthwhile to try out the effect this has on your concentration and the effectiveness of your memory. Your brain is well able to process different stimuli simultaneously. Reading and listening at the same time would not be a problem for your brain, especially when you practice it a bit.

If you listen to music while learning , it is important that it is background music. Because although your brain can handle different stimuli at the same time, your concentration is very limited. You can actually concentrate really well on one thing at a time . It is therefore probably a lot more effective to listen to music that you know. There is also something to say for listening to classical music and instrumental jazz. Your brains are very quickly distracted when voices are heard. Jazz and classical offer an extensive repertoire of instrumental music; this in contrast to pop music.

Music can also be a tool for remembering rows, for example . Music and rhythm are probably evolutionally a lot older than language. Music can therefore penetrate deeper into our brains. We associate music very easily with things that belong to the music, or seem to hear. For example, we link a particular song or a particular tune to a product or to a television program very quickly. We can also remember text more easily when it is connected to a melody and / or rhythm .

An example of this is learning the different cases and genera of German cases. You can learn this by simply saying it and repeating it as often as necessary. You can also learn them by putting them on the music of the chimes of the Big Bang in London.

There are many more of these types of musical tools. Just think of the way many people have learned the alphabet (in the way of Always Shorty is ill ). Musiccombining language seems to be a very effective learning and memory method. If you apply yourself to this, you can make much more use of it here. You will then only have to search for texts with (existing) melodies. In the beginning this will probably take a lot of time, but as you practice it more, it becomes easier and more effective.

Incidentally, this method does not work for everyone. You have to have a certain talent for it. That does not mean that you also necessarily have to be musical. Even if you do not have a musical talent, it is worthwhile to try out this memory technique. If it does not work, there are sufficient other memory techniques .
