Abstract: Music has been a part of students’ lives nowadays, and it influences their focus on academics. Improving students’ focus and analysis of mathematical problem-solving is essential for junior high school students. However, the effectiveness of music depends on the kind of music the students are exposed to during the learning process. This study delved into how classical and pop music affect the math problem-solving skills of Grade 7 students at a Seventh-day Adventist school in Don Carlos, Bukidnon, Philippines, during the school year 2025–2026. Ninety students were placed into three groups: the group who listened to classical music, to pop music, and the other had no music but only silence. All of them took the DepEd MATATAG summative test in Mathematics as a pre-test and post-test. The results of this study show that all groups have differences in their pre-test and post-test scores. Classical group rises from 22.97 to 23.21, the control group rises from 19.52 to 20.5, while pop music group decreases its score average from 23 to 21.69. The research confirms that pop music might disturb concentration, leading to lower scores. Based on the result, the type of music influences how well students perform in math, with calm, instrumental environments being most beneficial. The ANOVA results back this up (F = 4.26, p = 0.019), showing real differences between the groups. Turns out that music, especially classical or anything without lyrics, actually helps solve math problems. Overall, classical music is beneficial to students' performance in mathematics.
