Exam music :)

Wendero

Hi

Anyone got any good ideas about what to listen at while studying, or while trying to get motivation to study or so? Some good exam music?

I find listening to music without lyrics (or at least with very little) helps, because you don't get distracted as easily. Classical music is good as it makes you feel smart :pac:

I listen to this guy a lot when I'm studying

Mogwai is also great to have on in the background (this song is savage, although for some reason too long for one video on this lol)

I used to listen to this in the five minutes immediately before exams, really psyched me up.

Jimmy Iovine

Have to listen to this before every exam. Tis a fantastic song and gets me in the mood for doing a fair bit of writing.

Good idea! I usually pick relaxing stuff like Pärt or Górecki if it's just reading stuff, maybe some heavy Vaughan Williams (No.4) if it's logical theory stuff!

I'd take anything by Hybrid. This is a remix they did of a tune from the excellent War of the Worlds musical.

Thanks for the advices:) Keep'em coming

Off topic: How do you get an exam permit?

They're not doing them anymore. Just make sure you have your student ID with you. As far as I know...

Being a music student, I tend towards the music I'll be examined on.

Neeeeeeerd!

Steady diet of The Birthday Party for me. Not the most study-conducive, I'll admit, but it makes the task much more bearable.

I had my first exam today, management and teams. Got a good feeling about it what about the rest of you?
