| Music Schools
My son is a jr (high school) and interested in a double major of math and performance. Yet, I am having a hard time finding top schools that accomodate his passions. Any suggestions?

Columbia-Juilliard program comes to mind....but it's insane to get into that program.

The Loyola in New Orleans is supposed to be really good for music.
Chapman too, I believe.

University of Rochester, with either a degree from Eastman Conservatory, or from the College of Arts & Sciences (which doesn't require an audition).
Also, Johns Hopkins & Peabody Conservatory.

Does it have to be a music school, per se? There are many good schools with good music programs.
Oberlin, and perhaps Bard, come to mind.

AFter eliminating these because of too much emphasis on Music as opposed to art ( d' major) :
Lawrence university in Appleton Wi (GO PACKERS)
DePauw Univ in Indiana
Oberlin in Ohio.

Oberlin and Indiana really are two of the best! I can't believe I forgot about them.

Northwestern has a superb double degree program between the School of Music and either Weinberg College of Arts and Science or McCormick Engineering.
Arts and Science offers a straight Math major along with the highly touted MMSS program (Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences).
McCormick offers an Applied Math major.
All these programs are exceptionally strong. It's unusual for one school to offer as broad an array of math programming options. The music school is wonderful offering strong collaboration with Chicago arts venues and faculty with CSO pedigrees.
