When I translate, I like to listen to music. The type of music depends on my mood, the time of day, the workload, etc. When I’m overly tired and have a difficult time concentrating, I always put on classical music with birds singing in the background. This helps me focus, relax and be more productive.

Many studies have shown that listening to classical music decreases blood pressure, boosts memory, ignites creativity, and improves brain function. Other studies have demonstrated that listening to the sounds of birds chirping reduces anxiety, lowers stress levels, and creates positive emotions. Imaging combining them!

Did you know that combining classical music with the sounds of birds chirping has more benefits than listening to each individually?

Here is my list of benefits to listening to classical music with the sounds of birds singing:

• Increase auditory senses
• Improve mental health
• Affect our mood positively
• Reduce stress
• Relieve depression
• Improve focus and concentration

There are many videos of birds and music on YouTube. Here’s my favourite. It’s the perfect combination of soothing piano and guitar music with the calming sounds of birds singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMrtSHAAPhM&t=3921s

I feel more productive when I listen to classical music with birds singing. I hope you enjoy my favourite background music.
