This study aimed to understand how SHS students perceive classical music and examine its relationship to their academic performance. The study employs a correlational approach, utilizing a 4-point Likert scale to assess perception, the 1st Semester Average as a measure of academic performance, and employing a Pearson Correlation to determine the significance of the relationship between the two variables. By employing a purposive sampling technique, 50 SHS students were selectively chosen for this study. The research utilized mean and standard deviation calculations, as well as the Pearson product-moment correlation, to analyse the data. The research findings indicate that students possess a positive perception of classical music and perceive it as a source of increased enjoyment while studying. It also showed that there is no significant relationship between classical music and academic performance. Thus, listening to classical music does not thoroughly affect the academic performance of the students.
