This study aims to examine how background classical music affects vocabulary retention in a classroom. It whether background classical music can help students remember new vocabulary. It was carried out with 20 learners aged 12 to 16, who were divided into two groups. Both groups learned the same words, but only one group had music during the lessons. The group with music usually scored a little higher, especially in the later sessions and in the final test. The difference was not large, but it appeared more than once. This may mean that classical music can support vocabulary learning in a small way, possibly by making the classroom feel calmer. At the same time, the results show that music is not the main factor in learning and works better as an additional support.
