It is undeniable, learning situations in the classroom can sometimes be boring. Study shows can be even more annoying, especially if you're the kind of student who can only study while listening to music. Listening to music in class is not impossible. However, you still have to be careful not to get caught. Here are some suggestions to help you.
Step
Step 1. Use a small music player
Instead of using a large and hard to hide CD player (CD player), you can use a smartphone (smartphone) or an iPod which is more likely to be invisible.
Step 2. Buy earbuds (mini-sized loudspeakers that are used by plugging into the ear) the same color as your hair
Black earbuds are generally difficult to see on people with black hair. Meanwhile, the white earbuds are perfect for those with lighter hair.
Step 3. Prepare yourself before starting
You can check the volume of the music player and adjust the headphones (two earphones in the form of a headband), before entering class. Move the earphones about a foot (30 centimeters) from the ear. If you can still hear the music, it means the volume is too loud. Also pay attention not to over-tune the music so that when the teacher says something to you, you can still hear the sound
Step 4. Hide your headphones
Savvy music listeners generally know a few ways to hide cables and headphones to make them even more obscure.
- Thread the cord through the sleeve of your t-shirt or shirt, then pull it out through the collar. Attach the earbuds to the ear facing away, and hide it with your hair or a hoodie.
- If you don't have long hair, you can position the earbuds down, tuck them upside down, then tuck the cord behind your ear.
- Place the headphones over your arm. Leave the headphones there, and not in your ears. Hold or position your arm near your ear, then lean on your arm to listen to music.
-
Use a bluetooth headset (a combination of headphones and microphone) wirelessly, especially if your music player is supported by the bluetooth feature. The headphones of this type can be very small and easily hidden behind hair.
Step 5. Act casual
If the teacher asks you a question, pause the music, then answer as best you can.
Step 6. Sit in the back, and avoid people who might make a fuss
Step 7. Avoid singing or dancing
This is a bad idea that could get you into big trouble!
Step 8. If you are using a laptop or computer, which allows you to save work to take home as well as using headphones, save the music list on a USB, so you can listen to music directly from there
Tips
- Memorize the location of the buttons in the music player so you know how to arrange the music with just a touch. That way, you don't have to keep looking down to customize the song or the music player.
- Do not use a music player that can make loud noises when the battery is running low.
- Quiet time to read, do homework, and so on that doesn't involve the teacher is the best time to listen to music.
- Create a reputation for being a good, quiet student. This reduces the teacher's suspicion of you.
- Never stand while the headphones are still on your shirt. Headphones can fall and get you into big trouble.
- An iPod Shuffle can be very easy to hide. Just clip it to your belt or pocket. In addition, the iPod Nano can even be used and looks like a watch.
- If you are outside for marching band practice, you can use a beanie. Put the music player in the back pocket, then thread the cable through the back of the shirt and into the inside of the beanie or hat.
- Make sure the song doesn't sound too loud, and that you can put the cord in your shirt.
- You can put the earphones in one ear, then cover the other ear. If you get a headache doing this, make sure the cable isn't visible, so you can put it under your shirt.
- Thread the earbud cable through the sleeve, and place it on the side of your choice. Rest your head on your hands, while the earphones are in your ears.
Warning
- You may be penalized for confiscation of your music player, if caught.
- You may lose needed valuable information, such as homework or quizzes, and your grades in that class could drop.
