Music is very mathematical. In other words, the left side of the brain is heavily relied upon when listening and creating music. Hence, numbers are not difficult to use while listening to music; in fact, numbers will feel quite natural to write and think about if listening to well-written music. (Of course, this is not true while listening to music with a syncopated rhythm. In fact, syncopated music will make using numbers more difficult.)

On the other hand, typing words, despite language’s left-brain emphasis, will require right-brain usage—after all, your right brain is the source of most expression and creativity. As you are typing words, your right brain will be in “full gear,” needing to create, discover, or refine a fitting lingual expression.

Having a left-brain input and a right-brain output in the same moment is often very difficult, but certainly not impossible.

Also, if you are singing to music with words, the words will create a problem—you’re trying to sing words separate from the words you are writing. Words require a great amount of mental focus, and trying to multitask between singing the words to your song and writing the words of your email, paper, or story will be extremely difficult. It would be like trying to sing random numbers while typing different numbers simultaneously.
