Are you applying for a BM? How do you plan to “add on” a science major? Double major? Double degree? Are you applying to schools that will enable you to do this?

Combining music in a BM and science in a BS, or within one degree, is extremely difficult since scheduling with lessons/practice/rehearsals/performance and science labs can be very tough. There have been people on here who have done it.

Other options like Oberlin or Bard might offer high level music in a BA, as would many LAC’s and universities, that might more easily combine with science.

It seems you have already decided on schools so in some ways I am curious so that we can inform other people. Have you talked with the schools about combining these two fields and can you share the info here?

In many situations you would be admitted to both the school of music/conservatory and the college or university itself.
