Conclusion
• In the result and discussion, two variables
(listening to music per week and pop music
genre) have shown to have significant effect
on the student’s academic performance.
21. Recommendation
• The proponent suggested the study can be
improve by add more variables since there can
be factors that might be beneficiary which the
proponent did not cover.
• Studies such as one music genre (Rock,
Classical and more) to academic performance
can be one example. The sampling can be
focused in one educational institution.
