Musicians To Up Your Study Music Game
Megoirs

Have you ever wondered what background music you should listen to while you study? Well, if you are into soothing music like I am, I have a few recommendations for you.

Yiruma

I am a huge fan of Yiruma’s piano works. I can always count of his music pieces to put me in a good, relaxed mood. Often, I am still moved by his music even though I have continually visited the same albums for the past seven years.

Recommended Track: River Flows in You, Maybe.

Helen Jane Long

Long’s piano pieces make perfect rainy day playlists in addition to being background music for studying. I love how her music pieces tell stories. They always help calm me down when I feel stressed about overwhelming school work.

Recommended Track: Goodnight, Wishes.



Enya

If you have not heard how heavenly Enya’s voice is, you’re in for a beautiful treat. Her voice makes me feel comfortable and safe in my own surroundings.

Recommended Track: One By One, Long Long Journey

Joe Hisaishi

You will definitely be familiar with Hisaishi’s works if you have seen any Studio Ghibli movies. His pieces are both lively and calming. I enjoy watching YouTube videos of him conducting during his orchestra concert as well as listening to long playlists that are compiled with the best pieces from his collection.

Recommended Track: Summer, The Rain.

George Winston

My best summer memories are can be recalled by Winston’s music pieces because my family owns his Summer album and have always played it throughout summertime. I also love the album Forest by him.

Recommended Track: Lullaby, Colors/Dance

Tanya and Dorise

If you have not heard of this violin and guitar duo, don’t be taken aback. They are street musicians who perform on the streets of New Orleans, LA. My family and I discovered them when we turned at the corner of the streets on New Year’s Eve, and their performance caught our eyes.

Recommended Track: Hallelujah, Ashokan Farewell

Happy studying!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
