This study investigates the effect of Beethoven’s Symphony of Fate on the academic engagement of twelfthgrade students. Using an experimental design, 40 students were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Under identical conditions, the experimental group listened to Symphony of Fate for 10 minutes each day before their evening self-study sessions, while the control group received no music intervention. Academic engagement was assessed using the UWES-S scale before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 to compare changes in engagement levels. The results indicate a significant improvement in the academic engagement of students in the experimental group. No significant gender differences were observed in the effects of the music intervention. Correlation analysis identified concentration as the primary driving factor of academic engagement. These findings have practical implications for twelfth-grade students in high-pressure academic environments and provide optimized strategies for educational management.
