Most respondents were female (57%) while the remaining are male (43%). The highest frequency according to age with the range of 20- 21 years old (68%), and the lowest frequency according to age with the range of 22 years old and above (26%). Majority of respondents were enrolled in BSBA (44%), and the lowest is BEED (16%). The result indicates that, in terms Memory Retention, the most significant benefits of background music while studying helps them to retain information easily with a mean score of 4.05. Regarding Concentration, students reduce stress and improve their mood with a mean score of 4.74. For Cognitive Performance, background music was found to enhance creative thinking, with a mean score of 4.14.
