<p>It's often easier (and more common) to double major in something like physics/music at an LAC than at a university that has a school of music or conservatory. </p>
<p>Here's some info from a composer friend that I posted on another thread:</p>
<p>"I'd suggest Brown if they're interested in electronic music at all (both Butch Rovan and Todd Winkler are fantastic) Tufts has John McDonald; I've had students who studied with him and liked him a lot. If the person is a woman, then Wellesley is great (Martin Brody.) Belmont University in Nashville is one of the top schools for commercial music if that's an interest. I think Charles Dodge is still at Dartmouth..."</p>
