<p>Go to [Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums) and do thread title searches on both “jazz” and “contemporary”; you might also want to add “commercial”. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/892168-search-tips-other-insights.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/892168-search-tips-other-insights.html&lt;/a&gt; For contemporary, your options will be fairly limited (Berklee, USC/ Thornton, New School, UDenver/Lamont, CalArts, U of the Arts, UColorado Denver, Belmont). You might also have a look into some of the CTOC (colleges that change lives) schools.</p>

<p>As for acting, combining two performance disciplines even as a minor can be nigh on impossible. Performance is a time and credit intensive pursuit, and you will in most cases have scheduling conflicts and course availability issues.</p>

<p>Know the difference between BM and BA performance options, and what the flexibility of the BA may negate in terms of professional musical development.</p>
