What Type of Music Do You Enjoy Listening to While Reading?

[imSunshine]

i kinda choose pop perhaps, i like its upbeat

[Jennashby_87]

I usually don’t listen to anything when I read books unless there are distractions around. I live alone so a lot of the time it’s nice and quiet in my house. Though if the book has been made into a movie, sometimes I will listen to the album or the score while I read.

[LeDiplomatique]

Classical music, especially Handel.

Does anyone else like to read while listening to Tangerine Dream? They’re a German all synth prog-rock band from the 70’s. They were Salvador Dali’s house band for awhile. Really beautiful, calm, and instrumental. I find vocals pull my attention from my book too much,

[TheAshedPhoenix]

I always prefer songs that resonate with the mood of the book I pick up. It's weird but I always tend to attach the melody of a tune to that of the thrill of reading so I have designated songs for every book that I have ever read.

I prefer silence when am reading.Having music on,is kind of distracting,I find myself unable to t
fully concentrate on what am reading.

[nfdoughe]

Sometimes I like the silence when I'm reading or writing but sometimes I need just a little noise. I usually like to listen to music I don't know that well so I don't get distracted. It's nice to have something that blends in with the background and isn't too upbeat or catchy.

[Leyla Ann]

Indie music definitely, it has got a calming effect on me.

[timur777]

I dont like music while I am reading. Makes it hard to concentrate for me.

[Mwila_wise]

I like listening to country music whilst reading.

[nicole-adrianne]

The only time I'll listen to music is when other background sounds are too distracting. I like video game soundtracks or instrumentals. Specifically, I love this track called The Far Road by...Nick Ellis, I think?

[osigele-favour11]

It is kinda strange to people around me but I do listen to music to solve my maths questions well calm music

[Joe1234]

Some people may not be able to concentrate or think about the book they are reading while listening to music. And in my opinion I think the reason that could make you unfocused is because the music has words. Based off this I recommend listen to classical music Such as Beethoven, Mozart etc.

[MErmi81]

Hip-hop, 80s music, Classic Rock, Motown, Disco, Ambient music, Music for meditation and Smooth Jazz

[Cwaganagwa Dorothy]

I enjoy reading in a siren, calm and quiet environment for an exclusive type of concentration, but I prefer listening to genres like RnB, jazz or country along side reading.
