@compmom I remember reading somewhere that music and biology is the most common double major. One of D’s friends was music and bio and is currently in vet school. Music kids are willing to put in the work and it’s a benefit to the group to have someone wired a bit differently, which is why grad. schools like them. Even a major with a minor or double minor can be practical.
Something like music business might appease parents, because you can use your business training for an office job if you need to. In the best case scenario, you’d use your business skills to run your own studio when you have a performance career. Not a bad thing. Performance is risky, and even if you’re willing to take the leap, you need a plan B if things go south. Not to scare you, but you never know what might happen, like injuries, that could prevent a performance career. You need some sort of side skills to parlay into another potential career field.
