thinking. As discussed in the previous chapters, differences in

might perceive it trivial as a distraction or a type of motivator.
Results aligned to the related literature and studies review. The
theoretical Framework proved to be one of the assumption basis that

academic performance of students.
Conclusion
The outcome of the research led to the following conclusions [ in accordance
with the interview with the respondents]:
●Music Choice has an effect on an individual’s academic performance.
● Pop music and Alternative music are two of the genres which highly affects
our cognitive ability and academic performance. This is because the
respondents are highly inclined to like trends in music such as contemporary
and pop since the age range falls between teenagers who have an extensive
level of inclination to like what "in"
● Language, communication skills, and increase concentration are some of
the leading effects of music in our cognitive abilities and academic
performance. Music in turn, is advantageous since it is another way for our
mind to practice intracommunication skills, or communicating with ourselves
which we could apply in our social and academic lives.
