  • We know that music can alter your mood. Films have  been using musical scores for years to create the right mood for a scene. At times  you hardly notice the music at all but you are very receptive to the mood being  conveyed. So can we use music to put us in a "productive" mood?
    
  • ight melodies are recommended. These are  said to be good for those trying to study as they help you pace your reading to aid  focus and memorising. Baroque music is reported as an excellent example, especially  the works of Vivaldi, Bach and Handel.
    
    

     

      Rock music can have a similar effect. According to  a report in the journal Neuroscience of Behavior and Physiology, the Russian A  cademy of Sciences discovered that a person's ability to recognize visual images,  including letters and numbers, is faster when either rock or classical music is  playing in the background.

      The Mozart effect

      

      Some of the most publicised studies into whether  listening to music increases productivity have centred on what has been termed the  "Mozart effect". The term got its name after a study showed that college students  had performed better solving mathematical problems when listening to classical music.  The effect of listening to Mozart does not appear to be limited to humans either.  Apparently cows will produce more milk if Mozart is played.
