So just now I read in my textbook, about being sensitive to students when implementing music: "Students who are musically trained may also be bothered. They tend to hear musical sounds as a language, and it interferes with their normal language processing." AHA! This is why I can't listen to music and concentrate on anything else! I start to think about the music-- especially classical-- I start listening for the different parts and analyzing it... It's so distracting. Good to know that it doesn't bother everyone like that. :) Maybe I should stop yelling at my students to turn off their music. What a shrew of a teacher am I!
