Why we should be Allowed to Listen to Music

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” These words were spoken by none other than Albert Einstein. If one of the smartest men in the history of mankind believed, and thought in music, then why is music not allowed further in learning? We all listen to music while we study, in fact Scientist have proven that listening to music can give us the energy we need to learn new information. My question is: why are Students not allowed to listen to music while they are testing? Is there such little faith in humanity that we expect people are going to record answers and listen to them? There should be an app for temporarily blocking any functions on your device except one, and in this case, it would be listening to music. Afterwards, they could scan a QR Code, which puts there device back to normal and life moves on.  Music has also been proven to calm anxiety and this could help abolish test anxiety and this is why I think we should be allowed to listen to music while we test.
