students who are committed to continuing with music apply to Y and H over Stanford, because of the overall strength of the programs at those 2 universities

Even if they are not committed to continue in music (they don't make any commitment at the time of application), but are good enough to impress the music department with their audition tape, they get a leg up in admissions. And it is easier to impress the music dept at Stanford than it is at H or Y from what I heard.
I don't think I would recommend Stanford for someone looking for a music career, but for students who want an opportunity to play in the orchestra or wind ensemble while pursuing another major, Stanford is a wonderful choice.
