Not being a music major myself (aerospace and mechanical engineering in my case) I can't speak about music-specific scholarships but I will tell you that there are many ways to get the school to pay for the majority of if the the entirety of you tuition and boarding fees outside of traqditional scholarships.

Bob's suggestion of volunteering to become a Resident Advisor (RA) of a dorm is a good one. This will usually net you free room and board and you will usually get the nicest room in the dorm as well (generally one of the covetted single person rooms). When I was in school the RA positions were generally given to grad student who were seeking financial aid so there is probably a reasonable chance you could secure one.

Also I would suggest contacting professors at the schools you intend to apply to and inquiring if they need research assistants. I've found that there are often paid research positions in almost every subject that will provide you with cash to put towards tuition and will often net you some acedemic credits to put towards your degree as well. Again, these positions are generally reserved for grad students looking for financial aid.
