Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of classical music on high school students' concentration. Classical music, especially that which is in accordance with the Mozart Effect theory, is believed to improve cognitive performance and concentration. The methods used are literature studies and simple experiments to observe students' responses when studying with classical music. The results of the study indicate that classical music, with its stable and harmonious rhythmic characteristics, helps create a more conducive learning atmosphere, improves concentration, and reduces stress. Recommendations for classical songs are also given to support learning.
