Some math is required to graduate from high school, I think, in all states. Colleges usually have some math as a general education requirement, often waived if you have high scores on the SAT or ACT. If you go the a music conservatory, I do not think they have any math courses. Music majors are often good at math -- there is a relation between music and math.
Math is part of the General Studies curriculum at nearly every college; you don't have to take a lot of math (usually just 3 credit hours ... just one course meeting one hour per day, three days per week, for only one semester out of the eight or so that you'll spend in college overall), but you have to take some. Majors where math is used a lot (engineering, most sciences) require math classes over and above the General Studies requirement as part of their degree programs, but nobody gets a degree without taking any math classes no matter what their major is.
As Professor Helm notes, the General Studies requirement for math may be waived if you can prove through your scores on certain standardized tests that you already have sufficient knowledge in math; you'd need to contact the specific school you're interested in to find out if they offer "testing out" as an option and what scores on what tests are required to do so.

Is it an requisition to take math in college?
It depends on the course of studies laid out in your particular degree program. I had a major and a double minor in music, and I had to take no math classes at all in college. But in a Liberal Arts curriculum, I'm almost certain you'd have at least one math class.
Does a WLP major at Emerson College Boston MA have to take classes such as math and science and can you take classes such as photography and theater and dance and music for extra fun classes?
Students have to take 1 science course at Emerson if they didn't take an AP Science in high school, and most students don't have to take math if they did decently well in high school math or on the math section of the SAT. WLP majors can take photography, theater, dance, and music classes to fill their some of their GenEd Courses, or in open spots in their schedules.
Is it true that you need to major math to become a math teacher in NYC schools?
Yes and No. You must take all the credits that a math major has to take if you want to teach High School, but you don't have to have a B.A. in math. Instead, get a degree in education and take the required math classes. The difference is that a Bachelor's in math requires other elective courses that you won't have to take as an education major, such as language classes and other lib-ed requirements Well, I ask this question because some of my friends said that I should major in "Education with math concentration" rather "Math" major.
