<p>In terms of doing a double major in vocal performance and music education at a top performance school, here are most of your main options: Northwestern, Indiana, CCM (Cincinnati), and Vanderbilt (which offers a 5 year program where you come out with a BM in Vocal Performance and a Masters in Music Education).</p>
<p>In terms double majoring in music and something academic at a top tier performance school, here are your main options: Rice, Oberlin, Northwestern, Indiana, Carnegie Mellon (although not such a great program for voice at the moment), UMD, Michigan and CCM. True, Eastman and Peabody are linked with universities but honestly it is a HUGE commitment to shuttle through what can be hours of traffic every day.</p>
<p>In terms of the quality of the music program, I would strongly suggest looking into Rice and Oberlin. Rice is extremely selective, which provides undergrad singers with a very personalized experience and Oberlin is undergrads only, which provides more performance opportunities. Not to mention that both are fantastic academic schools.</p>
