Creating an environment conducive to reviewing, researching and analyzing is crucial to successful studying. So head to Club Lib, grab your books, and load up your Spotify playlist with these tracks.
1. Tycho – Awake
This song is so soothing, it performs double duty by keeping you relaxed as you cram.
2. Grimes – Genesis
Though this song does include vocals, Grimes’ voice functions more as an additional instrument, with lyrics hidden under layers of ethereal sound.
3. Explosions in the Sky – Your Hand in Mine
“Your Hand in Mine” is a tune full of emotion despite having no lyrics, creating the perfect background to your review session.
4. Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 9 “Jeunehomme”

5. The xx – Intro
Another refreshing instrumental to play as you pore over your textbooks.
6. Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata
The Moonlight Sonata is perfect for switching gears to a low-tempo and relaxing classical piano piece.
