There is no music that will make you smarter by inactively listening to it, just as there is no pill that will make you stronger by simply putting it in your mouth. All good things cost, and smartness costs work. Some music can easy the pain of study, but it can’t make the study easier.

Other than that, anything that’s relaxing to the student and helps her concentrate. You could experiment with different kinds of music too.

and a piecve of research that links any background music to learning (seems like suggestion is it lessens distractions so easy listening is the key…students might have negative results if lyrics or pace of music is something they need to concentrate on)
