However, there was also no significant difference in test scores between participants in the soft music conditions ( M= 23.75) and performance in the loud music conditions ( M= 24.22), t(31)= -0.56, p= 0.582.

Lieber AC et al (2018) Effects of music therapy on anxiety and physiologic parameters in angiography: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Neurointerv Surg 0:1–9 The participants were asked to solve five arithmetic tests with twenty different questions on each test. The first test was conducted in the soft music condition at low intensity (Test 1- SM-LO), and the second test, in the loud music condition at low intensity (Test 2-LM-LO). The third test was performed in complete silence (Test 3- SIL). The fourth and fifth tests were conducted in soft music and loud music conditions, respectively, both at high volume intensity (Test 4-SM-HI and Test 5 LM-HI). The participants were allowed sixty seconds to complete each test. There was a twenty second waiting period between each test. The participants were not allowed to use a calculator or any other electronic device to complete the questions on the tests.

Complement Ther Med 23(5):714–718 This study was conducted in a repeated-measured design; therefore, a paired sample t-test was used for the analysis. An alpha level of .05 was used for the analysis. The independent variable was the type of music played at two different levels of intensity: high intensity and low intensity. The dependent variable was the performance score, which was measured in terms of accurate answers obtained in each of the tests. The tests were not graded for completion but for accuracy only.

EXPLORE 16(6):376–371Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” – Jimi Hendrix The present study sought to demonstrate the impact of different genres of music played at different volume levels on cognitive performance. In accordance with the first hypothesis, participants performed better in silence than they did in any music conditions. The findings were also in agreement with the second hypothesis. They demonstrated that the performance was significantly worse in the presence of loud music at high intensity. Contrary to the third hypothesis, however, there was no significant difference between the type of music that was played and performance scores. The scores were not significantly higher in the soft music versus the loud music condition. Interestingly, there was no difference when the scores from the soft music at high intensity were compared to scores from the loud music at high intensity. The great Hungarian literary theorist Georg Lukács championed historical fiction because, he said, it revealed, at its best, "the great crises of historical life". He loved Walter Scott for his rebellions and revolutions and epochal clashes of ideology. These results seem to parallel those of Smith and Morris (1977). In their study, they also found that participants performed better on a cognitive processing test while listening to no music than they did while listening to either stimulating or sedative music. They determined that performance is impaired with music and optimized with no music. However, their study revealed that participants performed significantly better while listening to sedative music than they did while listening to stimulating music, whereas the current experiment found no significant difference in test scores between the loud music and soft music conditions.

Thirty-two undergraduate students (twenty-five females, seven males), ranging in age from 20 to 41 years from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) at Shady Grove participated in this study. Participants were selected from a psychology class and received extra credit for their participation as agreed on by the class’s instructor. All students participated on a voluntary basis. Materials In my work as choir director I love to focus on both: silence and music. I began to realise that this not only provides access to meditation, but also increases the perception of music, in its beauty and depth. So, I let the singing group consciously experience the silence before the music starts and after it ends. Or in pieces where the music is ‘interrupted’ by general pauses, I extend them in length in the rehearsals.
