Listening to Music for Writing

Question

I am writing a book, and it really helps me to listen to music (without lyrics: violin, etc.) while writing. It centers me and also gives me inspiration. Is this allowed during the Counting of the Omer?

Answer

Hello,

If you are not listening for enjoyment, it is permitted.
