Is University of New Haven good for Music?

Hello, I got into the University of New Haven for a music and sound recording BA. I haven't been able to find anything much about it from a student or an alumni. I want to become a producer and want to get into the field of sound tech. I couldn't find much online about it so I am here asking y'all. I also applied to the University of Illinois Chicago, as it's super close to where I live.

What can I do in highschool to prepare for a career in business/music management?

I’m a current freshman in hs who has interest in both owning my own business as well as helping music artists as they are my idols (haha), and I’ve found that I just have too much free time on weekends like I watched mvs until 1:00 today ;-; and I want to channel that energy into building a career, but I don’t plan to even live in the same country when I graduate, so it seems kind of pointless to try and start anything now if any connections I make here are gonna be useless, so I was hoping for advice on the things that I can work on now in order to be able to create my ideal career without risk in the future. Ideally it would be stuff that takes a lot of work lol Or does anyone have a way that I would be able to build a career in these areas in a way that would allow me to continue even though college/moving out of country? For context, I have no money or job experience, no free time during weekdays except past my curfew, and live in an area with no industry so idk where I would even start, but I’m too impatient to wait until I get a degree or move out or any of that…. Thanks :)

How can I ensure a successful career path in academia or industry after completing a PhD specializing in quantum physics, considering my diverse interests in languages and creative pursuits as well?

As someone who completed a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's in materials chemistry from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and worked as a product engineer for 7 years, I have a solid technical background. However, I have a persistent keen interest in physics, particularly quantum physics and its applications. I'm considering pursuing a PhD in either physics or physical chemistry to explore my passion for research science. At the same time, I am trained in materials chemistry, I speak 4 languages, and I actively pursue songwriting and writing on the side. How can I navigate this transition and what are some tips for maintaining a balance between my scientific pursuits and my other interests?

Does band and arts give you an advantage for college, even if music isn't your major or minor?

Next year, I'm in the 9th grade and I would like to major in either Pre-Med or Biology. I also take band and I'm in the marching band and planning to take it for the next 4 years. I'm wondering if that factor will give me an edge on my college application and if it will benefit me later. Thanks!

When it comes to releasing music, what is the best way to gain an audience ?

I have recently released my first album through DistroKid after two years of learning and making music. Though I believe I had done my best in sharing it around on social media, I had only gained 3 listeners on the first track of the album. My goal of going into music as a career path is to have something I enjoy doing and also share my ideas with others, but I just feel that I'm not doing something right here.

As a high schooler, how do I advertise and find students to teach piano?

I am a 16 year old junior in high school, and I am hoping to gain experience teaching private piano lessons. I have been playing piano since I was 4 years old, and feel that I am at a high enough level that I can teach students to a proficient level.

How do I find a local singer for my band?

I've put together a band recently that is going to be very 80s rock music, the only issue is that we can't find a singer, we have everything else we need. We just can't seem to find that guy or girl if you get what I'm trying to say. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had any advice as to how I should go about my search to find the frontman or woman.
