BornMan, welcome to CC! Have you checked out the Music Majors Forum? Lots of good advice there (from the main page, scroll down to the section that lists the forums for different majors)

How much preliminary research have you done? Requirements for performance majors vary greatly, especially when it comes to doing a minor or second major outside of performance (some encourage it, others make it very hard). Are you in-state Michigan? What about U-Michigan? Are you only focused on the midwest or considering going farther afield? Schools I can think of with strong music and journalism programs (varying degrees of selectivity) include Northwestern (w/Medill), Syracuse (Newhouse), Boston U (school of Comm), Ithaca College (Park School of Comm), U-Maryland, and Temple U (School of Journalism). There are probably lots of choices, and you’ll get lots of advice over on the Music Forum, but you will probably be asked lots of questions so that folks can be hekpful to your specific needs and objectives.
