Many people listen to music to relax or jam out to their favorite songs. Even though some people like music, music with lyrics can have a different effect when listen to music without lyrics. Music was discovered and came from the vocal note scale by Guido D’Arezzo. The vocal note scale is the sounds do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do. It’s been around since 1000 CE and has been more influential by the culture of this era.

David Wright, a senior from Central Kitsap High School, says that “I listen to music when I study and rock out when I’m in the car.”

An American financial and business news website, Business Insiders, recorded a study from University of Birmington, England, to find that music is effective in raising efficiency in repetitive work. They also found that using nature sounds in music boosts focus.
