Hello! My daughter is a junior and is trying to make a list of potential schools. Her voice teacher said o look for a smaller program where she would get more opportunities. Not sure where to begin with that. She has a beautiful soprano voice and wants more of an urban setting with a school that does at least one full stage opera a year. She has attended a few summer programs and the classical singer convention as well as lots of smaller school competitions and recitals.
She has a has a 4.0 and a great ACT score. She also wants to end up with a law degree so needs a good liberal arts. I think she is less serious about the music than the liberal arts, but hard to tell at this time and wants to do both. Any ideas?
She can major in music and do prelaw at the same time at a regular college, I think.
Lots of choices that would fit that criteria. What area of the country? Are you looking for merit aid to save $$ for law school?
@singingdaughter - here are the responses to your prior request. @dramasopranomom gave a good answer. Just so people don’t double the effort on some of the schools. I don’t know if you couldn’t find this past thread or maybe you wanted to start one of your own.
Look at Millikin University. Small school with top vocal music program but highly competitive. Choirs have several performances on youtube.
CCM
Someone on the other thread suggested that singingdaughter start her own thread which seems like a good idea 
I always recommend that people read the Double Degree Dilemma essay written by David Lane, former head of admissions at Peabody, that is posted closer to the top of this forum. It really details the various ways to approach the study of music as an undergrad and does not just discuss double degrees.
I wrote a response to a parent asking about composition on the same topic, combining music and another area of study, which you can also read but I will write some of the same things here.
At most schools there is no such thing as “prelaw.” You can major in most things, including music, and can go to law, medicine, nursing or any other professional or grad school- as long as prerequisites are done (and they can be done postgrad if necessary). You probably don’t want to plan things according to that goal anyway, since things change.
People are recommending colleges/universities that have conservatories or schools of music. That is a great idea if she wants to do a double degree, which is usually 5 years.
If, however, she wants to do a double major or music and something else, she might be well-served at a college or university that does NOT have a conservatory or school of music.
As you can tell, you really need to look at every school in detail.
I think she needs to clarify what she wants: double degree, double major, major.minor, or studying something else and doing music as an extracurricular (with lessons and extracurricular performance). A BM is intensive music with 2/3-3/4 classes in music and a BA is 1/4-1/3 classes in music (plus gen eds if required).
It is okay to apply to several options and decide in the late spring of senior year.
If she applies to a non-audition school, she would do a music supplement to the common app with a recording, music resume, and recommendation letters from music teachers or directors.
It is possible she could consider Ivies and other selective schools, which have great financial aid, if money is a problem. A music supplement from a talented student can help a lot with admissions. (Harvard also has a double degree program with NEC, as does Tufts).
Speaking of Ivies, Princeton looks especially good for vocal performance/opera - they have their own opera company and a junior semester abroad program with the Royal College of Music in London.
