I will be applying for college in the next two years and I am currently searching for schools to apply to. The problem is that when searching for schools, most only focus on the performance majors and not composition.
Some schools I am looking into are Eastman, Manhattan School of Music, Yale, and others.
Are those good options? What other schools should I consider?
I know I still have time to decide, but some schools require a piano supplement, and although I can play piano passably, it is not my main instrument. I am also trying to decide if I should focus on piano, or if I can stay focused on my main instruments (violin, percussion, and saxophone). Any suggestions are appreciated!!
Thank you so much!

I looked at Columbia, and although I know they are not known for a stellar music program, they offer the opportunity to study at Julliard as well. Would it be a good option to pursue a "back-up" major (besides composition) and do composition as well?
I have previosly looked at Julliard, NYU, UCLA, and Berklee and found all of them to be good ftis for me. I will look up the other colleges as well!
P.S. I love jazz composition but am hesitant about finding a job for that after I graduate...
