<p>Given her desires at the moment take a look at Case Western, who DOES offer a degree in music education ([Music</a> Education - Music Department - Case Western Reserve University](<a href=“Department of Music | Case Western Reserve University”>Department of Music | Case Western Reserve University) ) and where she could double major in accounting. As Fiddlestix has said, CIM’s main focus is performance, but they also give the option of taking an education degree at the same time, but she wouldn’t have time for the accounting. Taking the degree through Case is not as rigorous an admit as through the conservatory but the uni is well respected and she could have the option to investigate her interests.
To say that Eastman and CIM “do not offer strong music ed” is not true- howeve neither may be the the right place for your D at this point in time. While music ed is not the primary focus, since both schools are considered conservatories, they are both affiliated with universities, The University of Rochester and Case Western, respectively, and anyone lucky enough to be admitted to their programs will certainly graduate with not only an excellent education but a degree from a top school.</p>
