Abstract: Due to the stress of e - learning, adolescents' study potential is observed to be lower during the pandemic. The main aspect of this systematic paper review is to examine and analyze relevant studies on the issue of the association between listening to music and study ability in order to determine the efficacy of music and its outcomes. All of the papers in this review are categorized according to the eligible criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The publication years, methods, and participant ages all utilize as inclusion criteria. Furthermore, all articles must be initially screened to see whether they are unavailable or unrelated to the field. In this paper, the Google Scholar and Eric databases were utilized to find papers, and a total of 221 papers were discovered. We found 9 publications related to our topic as a result of our systematic review. A total of five papers were relevant to the relationship between music and second language learning. A total of three papers were related to the field of mathematics. Lastly, a total of one paper was about the effect of music on concentration. Overall, music was indicated to be a positive stimulus for memory, second - language learning, concentration, and mathematical potential. However, the outcome can vary depending on the languages. Music was also found to be highly effective for neurotic participants on the mental arithmetic exam.
