Background noise in the environment including the sound of television, radio or someone talking on the phone can possibly have adverse effects on a child's ability to focus. These types of back ground noise are potentially distracting because they contain elements of language.
Cognitive psychologists term the phenomenon "divide attention". Your child's brain automatically pays attention to these environmental noise while trying to listen as you teach them something else. The trick to ensure the learning environment is free from any alternative sources of language. Having some soft music playing in the back ground however should not be a hindrance as long the music is instrumental.
