The List of Top Musical Scholarships in 2021
Studies have shown that music students receive higher SAT scores. They also have a higher GPA. In addition, they receive more academic awards than other students do. However, after graduating from high school, they often face stiff competition. This competition forces them to rethink the future of their music career.

Before proceeding with the consideration of scholarships, we need to warn you. Some scholarships, in addition to a high GPA, also require w...
Sadie Sink On Fear Street, Stranger Things, And Hitting Her Stride
By Annie Zaleski When Sadie Sink connects with MTV News on a recent Monday, it’s mere hours before the in-person premiere for Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy. Later that night, the actress — who’s perhaps best known for portraying Max on Stranger Things — would be spotted in Los Angeles State Historic Park wearing a black bandeau top, wide black pants, and hefty boots. On the phone, however, the Texas native reveals that this very morning, she realized this screening was exactly two years to the day after the premiere for Season 3 of Stranger Things. Much has changed for Sink during this time. She turned 18 (and is now 19), graduated high school, and made some important decisions about post-grad life. But one of the most transformative things she did was film Fear Stre...

STEEL PANTHER singer Michael Starr spoke to Ornella Carlone of Germany’s Comebackstage about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2019’s “Heavy Metal Rules” album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Satchel [guitar] writes all the songs for STEEL PANTHER, and Stix [Zadinia, drums] and I write stuff to Satchel‘s music. So, we’ve been able to finish two songs so far in pre-production, and then we have about 12 more that we’re gonna record. So what we’re doing is we’re having a different process right now because of COVID, and the different process is we normally don’t demo up what Satchel writes.
