No matter what science people tell you, music is not math. It's much more complex than that. :)
After three semesters of majoring in music, I made things easier for myself as a student and switched to computer science, with a hefty dose of math on the side. (I also thought that might be better for employment prospects; I think I was right.)
I've continued to pursue music as well, but wow, those classes are intense.
I had a similar thing happen, where I had this insane aspiration of dual majoring in computer science and engineering and music. After doing marching band my first semester, which was 6+ hours of work a week ignoring games, and seeing how hard the music majors were working, I realized how difficult that'd be.
I still do the occasional ensemble, but the time you need to commit to those courses are insane.

Random idea: I wonder if you could set up an education track, perhaps for homeschoolers (?), that transitioned from music study to music performance in a group to computer programming to programming in a team.
But I'm underwhelmed by these kind of fluffy semi-literary linkups between otherwise beautiful things.
