Abstract:
Music serves a greater purpose in our lives, especially to the youth and students who listen to music
as their usual practice while studying. This study aimed to explore the views of Grade 10 students of
ARMM Regional Science High School on listening to various songs in the study habit. The
descriptive research design was utilized in this study in which a survey was taken among the 66
Grade 10 students of ARMM Regional Science High School, S.Y. 2021-2022. Based on the result
gathered, while studying, most (38%) of students chose all of the genres of music, and above half of
them or 51.52% regularly listened to songs. There was the same number of students who strongly or
partially believed that listening to songs increased their efficiency in studying. While more students
partially believed that the song affected academic performance. And, most (40.91%) of them did not
believe that listening to the song can understand more the lesson. Yet, a majority (54.55%) of the
students did not believe that listening to songs disturbed their studying. In conclusion, most students
were regular listeners of all genres of music who perceived that songs can increase efficiency in
studying yet they did not believe that listening to songs can help to understand the lesson more.
