Should I minor in music? Or even double major? Or just find some way to continue with music such as orchestra, lessons, etc.?

I've always been absolutely decided I want to pursue a pre-med path after high-school. But now I can't imagine myself without music. I primarily play the cello, but I also take piano lessons and play in an orchestra. I love learning about music history, composers, theory, etc.

I am interested in both English writing and Music, but I am worried a double major might overwhelm me. Is it better to do a double major with the benefit of having two bachelor's degrees or just get a minor?

I plan on going to UC Irvine in the fall, and my main reservation with getting a music minor is not having an official music degree, and I worry this could lower my chances of playing in a professional orchestra.
