Abstract

Complex academic demands require optimal working memory, which is often impaired by information overload and distractions. This study aims to examine the effect of exposure to Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K.622 on the working memory of sixth-semester students at Al Azhar Indonesia University. Utilizing a quantitative experimental approach with a Randomized Two-Group Post-Test Only Design, 30 students were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (with music exposure) or a control group (no treatment). Working memory was measured using the Merkaufgaben (ME) subtest of the Intelligenz Struktur Test (IST), and data were analyzed using an Independent Samples t-Test in Jamovi Statistical analysis was conducted using an Independent Samples t-Test, taking into account the distribution characteristics of the data. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between groups (p = .032), with the experimental group demonstrating higher working memory performance. In conclusion, Mozart's classical music serves as an effective, practical strategy to enhance working memory and support students' academic performance.
