"Listen Some More," by Failedlmitator

If you need a little music to put you in the right frame of mind for studying, then give a listen to some of these playlists.

"Mozart," by dunga 94

Some say listening to Mozart makes you smarter. Whether you believe that or not, he still wrote some amzazing music. Check out some energetic selections from Mozart's catalog as well as from other classical, baroque, renaissance, and romantic composers with this playlist in Naxos Music Library (sign in required if you're off campus or using wifi). Highlights include works by Mozart, Bach, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninov, and many more.
