I know a number of mathematicians and engineers who are outstanding musicians - mostly jazz. Do not give up on your love of music.
However, this is the real world. I really support the first answer who suggested that you look into acoustical engineering - very cool field and there are enough jobs out there. One difference is that I would discuss this with the head of your engineering department and also your favorite engineering professors.
An engineer can do music, but a musician cannot do engineering.

Unless you already have some good skills in playing an instrument or singing, a music major is probably not realistic.
However, if you want to become an acoustic engineer, you might find yourself in a fulfilling career. Why not make an appointment with your college's student career development office and ask them to help you explore your options? They could give you the one-on-one attention that Yahoo! answers sadly lacks.
