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"!

I also have some difficulties doing "brain work" while listening to music for the same reasons, I just start paying more attention to the music. I'm a hobbyist musician and have been playing trumpet and saxophone since I was around 8~10. I wonder if that changed the way I (or we) perceive music
