This study illuminates the transformative role of classical music in promoting gender equality and enriching reading comprehension within library spaces, even amidst the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The adoption of qualitative methods, including Google Meet interviews and open-ended questions, proved invaluable in capturing the nuanced perspectives of 20 music-minded participants.
The comprehensive analysis of collected data underscores the remarkable psychological advantages of classical music, spanning improved performance, sleep quality, pain alleviation, mood enhancement, stress reduction, and cognitive advancement. Importantly, the interplay between individual well-being and reading comprehension emerged as a pivotal dynamic. The positive alterations in participants' emotional and physical states, facilitated by classical music, highlight its potential to elevate reading skills.
This symbiotic relationship further emphasizes the power of classical music to cultivate an inclusive and gender-responsive library environment. Beyond its role in fostering gender equality, the integration of classical music emerges as a conduit for holistic cognitive, emotional, and psychological growth, transcending mere academic pursuits.
As this study underscores the profound impact of holistic well-being on effective comprehension for all library patrons, the incorporation of classical music stands as a catalytic force for gender responsiveness, breaking free from conventional research confines. The study's findings underscore the potential of artistic stimuli to enrich educational spaces, shaping a more equitable and enriched learning experience.
