How to say "studies" in Japanese

• 学業がくぎょうCommon
  nounCovers the ordinary sense of 'studies': a student's academic work or schoolwork taken as a whole. Typical in contexts like devoting oneself to, or falling behind in, one's studies.
  スポーツにかまけて学業がくぎょうを怠おこたる学生がくせいもいる。↗

  Some students neglect their studies in favor of sports.
• 曲集きょくしゅう
  nounThis is not a word for academic studying: it denotes a collection of musical pieces, and its 'studies' sense refers to musical studies, i.e. practice pieces — never to schoolwork.

Use 学業 for a student's academic studies or schoolwork; 曲集 has nothing to do with studying — it is a collection of musical pieces, where 'studies' means musical studies, so avoid it for schoolwork.
