I never intended to write a follow-up post to my two-part catalog of my favorite study music available on YouTube. But I kept A) remembering things I’d forgotten to include and B) discovering more good stuff to listen to. So… here I am. I definitely see more posts like this in my future!
Enjoy!
P.S. You can find my earlier study music posts here and here.
For the past few years, I’ve used a Lord of the Rings-based mix made by the same channel to help me find focus + motivation + inspiration. Imagine my surprise and delight when I stumbled across their ambient mix of music from The Hobbit movies!
This is seriously one of the best Harry Potter music compilations I’ve found yet. It’s a great combination of some of the tried-and-true classics (such as “A Window to the Past”) and lesser-known pieces (such as “My Love Is Always There”). A playlist for healing tired souls, for sure.
Emphasis on the CALM. No bombast and fanfare here, just quietly beautiful melodies from Episodes I through VII. I really enjoy this for early-morning study sessions!
OK, so this playlist is basically the opposite of the one above. While still one of my new faves for studying, this is less of a “taking notes” mix and more of a “writing fiction” mix. It has a couple moments on the quieter side, but mostly it’s very INTENSE!
This compilation always puts me in a productive mood! It reminds me of a bustling city.
This is SUCH a lovely playlist for essay writing! Want to feel like a Real Scholar™, hunched over a desk like the scribes of old? Look no further.
FYI, this isn’t literally Nordic music: The description box says it has something to do with Skyrim. Whatever this is, it’s wonderfully dark and atmospheric. I love it!
