<p>Are there any academically excellent colleges that have both a good pre-medical program AND offer piano performance as a minor. </p>
<p>For example, USC is considered a great school and is affiliated with Thorton, and I heard that Thorton offers piano performance as a minor. Are there any other colleges?</p>
<p>ALSO! Does Eastman school of music offer a piano performance minor, since Rochester U seems like a really good school..</p>
<p>I don’t know the details, but I do know that Columbia in NYC has a specific program geared towards pre-med and music. Hopefully the link will appear below.</p>
<p>Columbia, like the other Ivies, does not offer a BM in music.</p>

<p>A quick Google search of “music performance minor” shows a few links to Vanderbilt, Boston U, and UMaryland - College Park, among others. Might it also make sense to look at academically strong schools with music programs and see if they’ll let you take lessons and music classes a la carte?</p>
