I’ve only taken the intro music theory sequence (103 and 104), which were not easy, but not soul-crushingly hard either. Those class in particular I think people tend to have wildly different experiences with depending on their musical background - some find them incredibly easy, while others struggle a lot. I don’t know much about the upper level classes. I’ve never hear my music major friends complain about lack of classes, but it’s not something that would necessarily come up in casual conversation, so I can’t really say. You can check out the course offerings in the catalog (http://www.williams.edu/admin/registrar/catalog/coi1011.pdf, music begins on page 157). At first glance it looks like a lot of the more specialized electives are only offered once every two or three years, so although there are lots of options you’d need to be a bit strategic in planning out what you’re going to want to take.
