Music to study/concentrate to?

I think it's all BS. Many people are scared/stressed when studying and don't want to be alone. That's why they seek external stimulation to accompany their studying.

Fact is that the OPTIMAL surroundings for OPTIMAL study is in DEAD silence.

OoooooKaaayy. Silence to the best of your circumstances, but I believe that it should be not contaminated by any EXTRA external stimulation (music).

i agree and disagree...
when i have to do a lot of reading for my studying and actually learn things off by heart, then yes, dead silence works best.
but when im busy working through questions and doing calculations etc, i seem to relax and focus a bit more when listening to certain types of music, like metal.
 
Uhm, music while studying is possibly worse than silence. You might find yourself thinking that you concentrate better but you're not thinking about the effect it may have on your recall ability.

Rather find somewhere with some natural ambient sound to study - near the pool, under a tree, or something similar.

Isnt it possible that it could enhance recall ability, as it is attaching the material with some music that you already know?

It has to do with the frequency iow like 50 beats per minute...

Something to do with whats called the Mozart effect...

I used Bach, Handel and Mozart, for matric exams in 2000, and it worked a charm... Using now for Honours, we'll see... ;)
