Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about reading music…
Do you listen to music while reading? Does this change if you’re reading in or out of your house? Do you have a preference of music for such occasions?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
I rarely listen to music if I’m reading at home – though our house usually always has some music playing somewhere, even if I’m not really listening to it.
Outside of the house however, I usually always listen to my ipod when sneaking five minutes of reading. I go to work an hour or so early so I can read and listen to music in my car; I slip my headphones into my library bag if I’m planning to be there awhile; and I used to love my reading/music time on the bus.
As for preference, I used to listen to instrumental music – classical, jazz, or movie scores, but I found that to be more distracting than anything with lyrics so I swapped back. I’m not usually terribly picky with what I listen to; I just like a little background noise.

I rarely listen to music when I read, but I always have the television on as background noise. Typically, the TV is on MSNBC so I can listen to news updates with one ear while losing myself in a great book. I can't have the volume too loud because that gets distracting, but I like it loud enough so I can catch what is going on.
I'm not too particular about my music.
I can't live without my music! :)

I have some fairly quirky habits about where I will and won't listen to music or read. Here's my answer:

I just can't -- I get too distracted unless the music has no words ... and then it might make me fall asleep. So no!
I love my peace and quiet:
