This week I want to know……
Do you ever listen to music while you read?
I do! Not all the time but every once in a while. When I was younger I could listen to anything in the background while I read. Now I tend to play classical music because there’s no lyrics. I usually do this just to drown out other noises, people, etc.
What about you? Do you ever listen to music while reading? Let me know!

It kinda depends on my mood.

I don’t tend to. My brain is geared up for multi-tasking!

Yes, sometimes. But I find it doesn’t usually matter. If it is a good book I forget everything around me, including the music.

No. Too distracting. I listen to music as I write, though. Strange logic, I guess.

Never ever ever. I can’t concentrate on reading when I listen to music. Although, I can watch TV when I read! That’s really strange and I don’t know how I do it, but I like to have tv on in the background (it’s usually repeats of Friends). That’s actually weird now that I think about it lol.

Hahaha I never considered using the tv as background noise. I feel like the visuals would probably distract me more than the audio

Lol it does, but I’ve become adept at watching tv and reading at the same time!

No, I don’t. However, if I were to listen to music, I’d absolutely go the same way you do – classical music or something else without lyrics. There’s something about classical though – I can’t quite put my finger on it!

I can only really do one thing at a time. So regardless if music is on and/or the tv I lose myself into my book blocking everything else out.

I find it more concentrating when I listen to music while I read surprisingly! It also helps me come up with ideas and helps my creativity when i’m writing as well! Not only music helps me but the audio on the t.v does as well, just not looking at the screen cause thats kind of distracting. I don’t know why it does it just does for some reason. Not that there is anything wrong with it because music has helped alot of my short story ideas!
