Study in harmony: The role of music in academic growth

Wouldn't it be amazing if listening to your favourite playlist helped solve an algebra problem or recall key dates in Indian history? While not a magic fix, growing evidence suggests that music can positively impact learning, focus, and stress management. Across Indian classrooms and homes, students face rising academic pressure—board exams, entrance tests, and daily study loads. In this context, music can serve a greater role than just background noise. It may support concentration, memory, and emotional stability. Music enhances memory and brain function Music activates multiple regions of the brain. Engaging with it—whether listening or playing—involves both the left and right hemispheres, enhancing learning and retention. Musical training, such as playing the tabla or harmonium, strengthens working memory and long-term recall. Even listening to structured music with rhythm, like classical ragas or bhajans, can improve memory. This is why rhymes and musical cues are used in early education—to make information stick through rhythm and repetition. Supporting focus with the right sounds Many students struggle to focus, especially in noisy or distracting environments. Calming instrumental music—such as lo-fi beats, Indian flute, or classical melodies—can mask background noise and promote a productive mindset. Curating a dedicated 'study playlist' can also act as a natural timer, offering structure to study sessions. Music in education enhances learning Schools that integrate music into education—either through regular classes or extracurricular activities—often see better academic and social outcomes. Participation in musical activities has been linked to improvements in: • Concentration and attention span • Maths and language proficiency • Emotional awareness and peer relationships Simple practices like rhythmic clapping in class or singing at assemblies support learning through multisensory engagement. Music therapy and emotional support With increasing academic stress, music therapy is gaining attention. Trained professionals use rhythm and sound to help students manage anxiety, express emotions, and improve emotional resilience. Benefits include: • Reduced pre-exam stress • Better sleep and relaxation • Non-verbal emotional expression Mindfulness sessions involving music have shown positive effects on students' well-being and classroom behaviour. Tips for smart music use while studying • Keep volume moderate to avoid distraction. • Avoid lyrical songs that can divert attention. • Choose repetitive, calming tracks to aid focus. • Use upbeat music only during breaks, not study time. Conclusion: Studying smarter with sound For students navigating a competitive academic world, music is more than relaxation—it can be a cognitive and emotional aid. Encouraging mindful music use at home and school may help build focus, memory, and resilience, supporting both academic success and well-being.

Summons sent to lawyer for his role as co's ind dir: ED

Representative Image NEW DELHI: Faced with criticism, Enforcement Directorate Friday said it issued summons to senior advocate Pratap Venugopal as part of its ongoing investigation against Care Health Insurance Ltd (CHIL) in which Venugopal was an independent director. ED's Mumbai zonal office is conducting a money laundering investigation in which it has been alleged that shares of CHIL were issued at a much lower price in the form of ESOPs on May 1, 2022, in spite of the rejection of the same by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). "As part of the investigation, summons was issued to Pratap Venugopal, an independent director of CHIL, to understand the circumstances under which the company has issued ESOPs despite its rejection by IRDAI and subsequent discussions in the board of CHIL in this regard," the agency said about the summons which it withdrew after protests by lawyers' bodies. In a statement, the agency emphasised that IRDAI on July 23, 2024, had directed CHIL to revoke or cancel any ESOPs that were yet to be allotted and had also imposed a penalty of Rs 1 crore on CHIL for non-compliance with regulatory directions. "In view of the fact that Pratap Venugopal is a senior advocate in Supreme Court, the summons issued to him has been withdrawn and the same has been communicated to him," the agency said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In the said communication, it was also stated that if any documents were required from him in his capacity as an independent director of CHIL, the same would be requested to be submitted by email, the agency added. Further, ED has asked its units not to issue summons to lawyers, saying summoning them would be violative of Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. "If any summons needs to be issued under the exceptions carved out in proviso to Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, the same shall be issued only with the prior approval of the director, ED," the agency said.

"Yoga's Popularity Rising Across UK": King Charles On International Yoga Day

London: Hundreds of people have gathered at an iconic square on the Strand in London to join in a series of expert-led asanas and breathing techniques to mark International Day of Yoga (IDY), organised by the High Commission of India in London. Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami opened the proceedings celebrating the 10th anniversary of Yoga Day on a sunny Friday evening by reading out a special message from King Charles III. The 76-year-old monarch, known for his affinity for Yoga, said this annual celebration "promoted the global principles of unity, compassion and wellbeing". "The theme of this year's day, Yoga for One Earth, One Health, reminds us how vitally important it is that the world comes together to secure a happy and healthy future for present and future generations," read the King's message from Buckingham Palace. "Initiatives like the International Day of Yoga provide an opportunity to celebrate a practice and philosophy that means so much to so many. Year on year, Yoga is increasing in popularity across the United Kingdom, with millions of people in our country reaping its benefits. Yoga is a powerful means of enabling anyone to improve their physical and mental health and fosters a sense of wellbeing and togetherness within communities," he said. Doraiswami reflected on how it's been over a decade since the United Nations adopted a resolution put forward as an idea in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a "hugely popular" initiative with support from all partner nations. "Yoga is something that speaks to a universal language, the idea of the commonality of the human experience, the idea that we all, no matter where we come from, how we look, how we pray, what we speak, our bodies need the same forms of healing," said the High Commissioner. This year's programme was organised in partnership with King's College London, whose campus is near India House. "King's College London shares the values of community, wellness, inner calm and everything that Yoga represents," said Graham Lord, Senior Vice-President for Health and Life Sciences, King's College London. "This is the first of many partnerships we will have with the High Commission and also represents the partnership between the United Kingdom and India, who as you know signed a Free Trade Agreement very recently. It's wonderful for us to be building an even stronger relationship. It's lovely to see that we have brought this event closer to the High Commission and that we are using our wonderful shared space together," he said. Opening with a 'Drums of India' musical segment by the Bhavan UK, the gathering was led through Surya Namaskar followed by an introduction to Iyengar Yoga. Experts from Heartfulness UK, Art of Living and Isha Foundation then went on to take the audience through breathing techniques and mindfulness practices. The event concluded with 'Samagam', a harmonious Yoga and dance performance. International Day of Yoga is marked annually around the world on June 21, with the High Commission of India in London organising a major public event in celebration.
