  • Not for studying, that's for sure!

    Simply put, you won't get much homework done listening to this unless the work is completely mindless.
  • Very Powerful! :)

    "Power" is the right adj! Best if used with the original album "Homework Hits Vol. 1: The Classical Study Hall" to tone it down or used alone when you are studying at 3:30am and need something to keep you awake and you're out of coffee/Mt. Dew! ;) Overall, a lot of great songs, even if you don't use it for studying. :) Enjoy!
  • This is not helpful!

    This album made my studying more difficult. Just because music is classical doesn't make it good for studying. Ode to Joy? 1812? William Tell? What were they thinking, this stuff is stressful or triumphant or loud or all three, not the light, focus-your-attention music it should be. Poor job.
  • OK
