I think it is fine to go in majoring in music and take a few other courses and see where it all takes you. Again, if your interest lies more in music and the idea of another major (or minor) is for a “backup,” my personal opinion is that you should pursue music. But always stay open to other interests and directions as they develop naturally. I believe that overplanning can sometimes get in the way of things.

If you are in a BM program, the focus will be more narrowly music (2/3-3/4, and if you do a BA program, majoring in music, you will take more courses in other subjects (more than half). You can apply to both and decide later.
