Hi! I'm Lillian and am currently working at Spotify in new york as a Strategy & Operations Analyst. Is attending NYU’s Music Business undergraduate program worth it?

Omg this is crazy! I’m applying for college soon and I was thinking about majoring in music business, this video came at the right time! I’m so glad it was recommended 💕💕

In my view anything related to business major is super amazing! Either a pure professional business administration degree (this is what I'm doing) or a more specialized and specified degree in Music Business or maybe Fashion Business!

[petrayang]

thank you so much for making this video and sharing it here! I was considering music business before coming here and now have a much better idea if I want to go into music business or not. the structure of this video is clear and the explanations of the courses are super useful.

I'm loving your videos! You talked about networking and how hard it was in college, but when you joined Spotify you did a lot, you could do a video about how to improve those skills.

[annasokolow_]

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

I wish I knew about this 20 years ago.. this was what I was leaning towards to.. Music and Business. But the opportunities are limited indeed. Well, I end up in real estate full time and music on the side, after spending decades in music .. all still works out eventually =P . Thanks for sharing and all the best to your endeavours!

I loved hearing your story! I also went to school for music tech (kinda related, I guess), but now my work is split between audio/visual tech at a megachurch and Chinese language content for my Youtube. You mentioned you're international from Taiwan... how is your English SO GOOD??

hi Lilian! 💖

il currently going back to school after a year break and was looking to get into music business, but my school (city college) is telling me that i have to choose one or the other for a major (music or business)

over the span of time i took a good amount of business courses as well as completed a digital marketing certification in 2022

i took a break to stack some money at a field marketing job i currently landed in the cannabis industry, but i really miss music and the computer work i did in school (data analyzing, SEO, website building etc)
I love marketing as far as networking and connecting people to build strong teams and work on projects as well as manage the projects .. but i kind of got sucked up into field marketing and i really dislike the driving and being out and about so much. I have realized i’m truly happy with remote work and only going to the office 1-2 days a week

i have taken a good amount of music classes as well from intro to production, theory, fundamentals, music business, intro to electronic production, & music appreciation

but i’m not too sure what i should major in or plan my future toward :/

my counselor today told me that i am closest to getting my marketing mgmt associates degree (2 classes away) but im not entirely sure if that lines up with music business which is what my main goal is to aim towards …

i also spoke to her today about how i def need to work toward my GE as well if i want to transfer to a 4 year old… a lot to do ! 🥹

any advice would be super appreciated !! 💜 loooove your channel its amazing 💖 keep shining ! ✨
