Am I the only person who can't listen to anything while coding? My attention goes straight to the music, and I can't concentrate on the task at hand!

When I was in high school, my math teacher would play Mozart during tests, claiming it would help us. It would drive me crazy, and I doubt that my grades improved as a result of the distraction.

For what it's worth, I have a BMus in Piano Performance. I love music... but never as "background noise"!

It’s because of your music education that you become an active listener and can’t use the music as just noise.

It has nothing to do with it. I've spent 7 years in music school too, with violin as an instrument of choice. I still do play it sometimes too. Not to mention al the concerts I visit.

Still - I can barely code or work in general without music. Not any music though, that's for sure.
