Studying through music
I don't like to study English through musics...
I think it's not a good way to study for many reasons. First, it's not the best way of practicing listening because the words and the phrases are not said as in common conversations, they have different stresses and rythms.
Second, unusual words are used many times, like slangs or old fashioned words. When I'm worry about learning new words, those are not the ones that I want to learn.
Finally, sometimes the artists are not worried about grammar. Definitely musics are not good to learn grammar rules at all.
Obs: I'm in doubt whether I should have used songs instead of musics. What is the difference?

Studying through music
I don't like to study English through musics...(or songs).I think it's not the right way to studying English, for many reasons. First, it's not the best way to practise listening because the words and the phrases are not pronounced as in real life conversations, they have different stresses and rythms.
Second, unusual words are used many times, like slangs or old fashioned words. When I'm worry about learning new words, those are not the ones that I want to learn.
Finally, sometimes the artists are not worried about grammar. Definitely musics are not good to learn grammar rules at all.

Hi Ronaldo,
Actually i think that you should include songs in your learning process, of course you would have to choose artists who speak clearly...maybe you shout not choose rnb, hip hop, reggae music at the beginning because as you mentioned this kind of music is full od slang...i will advise to make a selection of pop artists.
I want to advise you two British artists (pop/ballads) and one singer from the United States.
Jess Glynne (I cry when i laugh album 2015)
Jessie Ware (Glasshouse album 2017) it's my favourite.
Brenna Whitaker (album 2015) from USA.
Let me know if you like their sound.

If you are passionate about the music, it's a great way to learn. If not, I suggest you find something you are passionate about and use that instead. Neither text books, nor lyrics, nor literature or television, reflect common conversations accurately. They are, however, unique in their own right, and quite useful to understanding the language as a whole.
Sincerely,
- Non-native English speaker
