We all have playlists for almost every occasion in our lives. One for the pre-game, one for the party, one for the walk to class and even one for the shower. We spend hours finding the right songs that match the vibe and add to each playlist continuously. However, the one playlist you might not think about too often, though it might be one of the most important, is your studying playlist. Some people have one but do not add to it very often or others might just hit shuffle on any random playlist they feel that day. If you struggle to figure out what music helps you focus, or what the best genre is to play in the background, VALLEY might just have your solution.
It’s Jazz Music!
That’s right … the best music to listen to while getting work done is jazz music. This genre of music accompanies a day-long study session perfectly. It is soft and quiet while keeping an upbeat rhythm throughout. It keeps the brain awake and stimulated while staying in the background of your thoughts. Often times students either listen to loud and distracting music and find it hard to get any work done or decide not to listen to anything at all. Jazz music is the perfect mix that cures both issues.
Types of Jazz
Jazz music is a massive genre that has numerous sub-genres within it. This is also another major plus for making it your study go-to. You have so many options to choose from and all of them are perfect for studying! There’s Early Jazz from the early 20th century. This kind of jazz often has a swinging tempo and utilizes many brass instruments. This can keep your brain awake and your focus high. One of our favorite kinds of jazz is Smooth Jazz. This tends to have softer sounds and rhythms. Smooth Jazz is perfect for blending into the background while you work. There is also Swing Jazz, Bebop Jazz, Cool Jazz, Soul Jazz and many others for you to test out!
