When my D was looking at schools, in the same situation as your S wanting to participate in music and ensembles but not as a music major, she emailed the Chairman of music at smaller schools to ask how things work and what opportunities she might have. Then when she narrowed her list she reached out to the professor for her instrument. Sometimes at smaller schools that don’t have a conservatory or school of music it was hard to even find out who would teach lessons on her particular instument so she found out as much as she could from the Chairman of music. At larger schools it might make sense to contact the head of the percussion dept. to see what opportunities might be available for your S. You might be able to meet with someone informally when you visit a school.
