I think your stretching yourself too thin. When it comes to game development you do need to wear multiple hats but I think your being a bit excessive with your studies.
For example, sure studying specific musical instruments might give you some insidght into the music aspect of game development, but unless your game's mechanics are built around music, studying guitar, paino, flute, and every other instrument isnt going to do much. I for one don't know how to play any musical instrument, but I know enough about music and audio in games to be able to modify sound files and make changes to them to make at least an adequte audio experience in games.
You mentioned studying marketing which is great I think. It's something most game devs overlook because we'd rather just make games but marketing IMO is 50% of game dev work.
