A BA degree in music is a BA just like any other and in no way limits your opportunities. Some graduate programs might require some review or pre-requisite work, but there are many doctors, lawyers, psychologists, and successful business people out there who began their education with a BA in music.

Actually, I read somewhere that the acceptance rate for music majors to medical school is above average as compared to most other majors, though I don’t remember quite where. If you searched around you could probably find it.

Also, if you’re looking at music for higher grades, you may want to do something else. At most places music is actually the most time consuming major except for engineering.
