<p>In my opinion, Rice and Northwestern are the strongest academic schools that also have outstanding schools of music for performance. (My D1 pursued this route seven years ago). You could also look at USC.</p>

<p>Tufts and New England Conservatory dual degree program</p>

<p>As someone mentioned, Johns Hopkins has a double degree program whereby you could major in math at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and pursue a performance degree at Hopkins' Peabody Conservatory. It is an excellent program but not for the faint of heart. Both degrees require a serious committment and doing both at once is a considerable challenge. Peabody's website has some excellent information talking about the pros and cons of the dual degree program. Performance degrees are really designed for those who aspire to a professional music career---not those who simply like music. For someone who is less than fully committed to a dual degree---Hopkins students who qualify by audition can take performance classes at Peabody without pursuing a degree there.</p>
