Top 10 Music Artists to Listen to While Studying

In a few weeks from now my middle school exams will start and that's why I decided to create this list of artist that help you or me with studying!
The Top Ten
1 Bethel Music

The instruments used and overall genre of music produced by Bethel promotes focus. I studied and passed my university entrance exams listening to them.

2 Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons is an American pop rock band from Provo, Utah, now based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. The band's lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and touring drummer Andrew Tolman... read more

Songs such as Radioactive, I'm So Sorry, and Friction are good for getting things done quickly. Songs like Smoke and Mirrors, The Unknown, and Nothing Left To Say/Rocks are good for focusing and doing things diligently. Then there is Dream to just make you sob and forget what you were thinking about.

I love songs like Polaroid, Friction, Amsterdam, and Radioactive!

3 David Hodges
4 Evanescence Evanescence is an American heavy alternative/alternative metal band. It was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.

The band consisted of 5 members - David Gilmour (Vocals and Guitar), Syd Barrett (Vocals and Guitar), Nick Mason (Drums), Roger Waters... read more

I find it very hard to listen to heavy metal while concentrating the mind so this list is kind of awkward to me. However, studying while listening to Pink Floyd is something I can really relate to.

No matter what the subject or assignment is, Pink Floyd has always helped me stay focused and get it done.

I find myself asking, "What Shall I Do?" when trying to study. Then I realize, "Oh yeah, I listen to Pink Floyd!"

6 Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin is an American alternative metal band formed in 1999. The band's members changed between 2010 and 2014, with the exception of Ben Burnley (vocals). The ex-members included Chad Szeliga (drums), Aaron Fink (guitar), and Mark Klepaski (bass)... read more
7 Skillet Skillet is an American Christian rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1996 and based in the United States.

One of the few rock bands in the 2010s. Honestly, rock is my favorite genre of music. Go Skillet!

The band is set together between Maynard James Keenan (Vocals), Danny Carey (Drums), Adam Jones (Guitar) and since 1995 Justin Chancellor (Bass).

The band is known for their influences from electronic... read more

Tool is like a musical math lesson from Danny Carey himself. Lateralus helped me remember the Fibonacci sequence in math class. Also, 46 and 2 helped me remember the number of chromosomes a human has (46 in case you were wondering).

Tool's music is made to make the brain work. The perfect synchronization between the instruments is just perfect to understand how the body works. Medicine Student from Chile.

They make some very solid music. What does that even mean, haha? Right now, I'm listening to Eleanor Rigby on the Revolver album, one of my favorite albums, and one that I find helps me to concentrate.

The Beatles are sort of the musical answer to most things, I find.

For effective studying and not having to worry about choosing songs every five minutes, Dream Theater is great. They also offer lengthy instrumental breaks which are helpful for studying.
