To examine the speed, a rap song, “The search” by an American rapper, NF, was used as a fast song, and “My Heart Will Go On” by a Canadian singer, Celine Dion, was used as a slow song. Furthermore, we asked the participants to answer a questionnaire about their music listening habits. The questionnaire items included how often they listened to Western music, how often they listened to any kind of music while studying and whether they knew the music used in this experiment.Calculation task First, we analyzed the data from the calculation task. The main focus of the calculation task was the time that it took for the participants to finish the calculation task, rather than the correct answer rate. Therefore, we measured the amount of time it took for the participants to finish the task. Table 1 shows the results of Group 1, who worked on Calcu-lation and accent task. In Group 1, Student (S) 1, S2, and S6 showed almost the same performance no matter what they listened to. The other two, S3 and S4 did better when listening to music. The others, S5 and S7 performed best without music. Table 2 shows the results of the Group 2 who finished Calculation and pitch task. In group 2, four Group 1S1S2S3S4S5S6S7MSDNote: N = 7.
