<p>I think you need to determine what you want to do after college - teach or perform? </p>
<p>Typically a person who graduates with a music education degree with receive certification to teach. I don’t believe you can teach without one in most schools. Therefore, if you want to teach, do music education. You could still perform on your “off hours.” If you do performance, you cannot teach in a school setting in your “off hours.”</p>
<p>Sorry - didn’t really answer your specific question 
I think it would depend on where you go to school, as to which program is more demanding.</p>
