Neuroscience+Music

Note: I’m putting this in both science and music major forums.

I am really interested in neuroscience, and don’t want to give up music when I get to college. I’m thinking about double majoring.
Know any colleges that will support me in my neuromusical endeavors?

–random question: Is there a concentration of neuroscience (strictly in undergrad) that involves lots of physics and math? Would this be the study of neural networks? At what level would the math/physics be?

I’m looking for a place that will allow me to do both, but not invest too much time in one area while neglecting to explore the other. I saw that Northwestern has a combined program with their music school and CAS, but sadly, Northwestern doesn’t offer a neuroscience degree (although i did hear about a choose-your-own-major system at Northwestern). If I could see the average GPA’s of the neuroscience majors at the specific school that any of you CC’ers suggest, I would be overwhelmed with happiness and ecstasy.

Also, I would like to know the difficulty of the chemistry (gen. and orgo) at the schools that may be suggested in this thread. (I’m going to be a pre med so, naturally, my GPA is as vital to me as my heart)

Thank you ever so much in advance
