Add introductory Macro and Micro economics courses to that and I've think you've got a winner. My Alma Mater, the University of Alabama has (had?) a Music Administration program. This involved a Major in music with a minor in business. Made good sense to me for the music major folks.

Of course, if one realizes the economic state of most professional symphony orchestras, there might be fewer music majors!

Most seem to rely on benefactors, donations, etc... whose generosity will vary with the state of the economy and put orchestras in financial flux like some are now. I would make ME quite paranoid about my career if my job and paycheck depended on the generosity of others. Seems to me that the military bands would be the most stable tuba playing jobs out there.
