That GPA is relative to where you are applying. My daughter had a 3.5 ish ( 89 GPA in HS, rigorous classes super strong EC and music leadership) but was applying to schools for music ed that she would solidly be in the admissions criteria range. For her, the audition was where she was burning the midnight oil. She got in everywhere she applied AND got music talent scholarship money and even some merit money. Don’t reach too far, and you should be just fine. Don’t try and explain it, if you are going to school for music you will still be spending hours a day on music, don’t point out that this is a problem, as it is not.
