specifically jazz percussion



There are lots of music schools. There are lots of engineering schools. There are lots of schools with music and engineering. However, if your music desire is that specific, then best to look for jazz percussion music schools first. Then see which ones have an engineering school.

FWIW: My son was accepted to study vocal performance. He has since decided to double major in Voice and Actuarial Sciences. At a minimum, that would take him 5 years (very little overlap in the coursework). The school said he should major in Actuarial Sciences and minor in Voice. He can then get out in 4 years (he has AP classes). I think in general, it will work, but he may need to take extra classes so that he will be prepared for studying Voice in Grad School.
