Abstract
The purpose of this research study is to determine and analyze if classical music can help make the library be gender-responsive place and can help improve the reading comprehension of the students. Due to covid-19 pandemic, the research team was not allowed to travel to gather data. So, qualitative design was used in this study through interviews using Google Meet, and open-ended questions through messenger and emails. Thus, qualitative was used because qualitative research targets conveying meaning and comprehension via detailed description. Since this study was using qualitative design, so there were only twenty (20) participants who answered the six (6) open-ended questions. So, purposive random sampling was used in choosing the participants. They were chosen as music participants. Content and thematic analysis were used in analyzing the data. Findings reveal that classical music inside the library has benefits to human psychology such as increased physical performance, getting the quality sleep the body needs, easing chronic pain naturally, improved mood and lower stress, and boosting brainpower. Thus, listening to classical music is also a therapy. Then if the body and soul of the readers become healthy, this leads to effective reading comprehension for all library users. Hence, the library using classical music becomes gender- responsive and inclusive.
