music helps with the formulation of ideas for certain type of people.

Music makes life enjoyable, when bored, you cannot study

con:multi-tasking means not being able to give 100% in your work

First, you’ll want to do a little internet research. Try to find surveys and studies that have already examined this idea. Try to look for news stories from reputable sources that have covered this before. For example, you may be able to find a study that suggests listening to music while studying can help a student focus better — and can eventually lead them to earning higher grades.

Places to locate these type of articles would include Google Scholar, Education World, and newspaper websites.

For your essay, you can use personal experience as well. If you have found that listening to music while studying helps you to focus, be sure to describe that in detail.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

In one of my college classes, I have a guy who listens to music while taking tests.
