The default folder for iTunes music is
/Users/your_username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media (or iTunes Music in older versions of iTunes)
The migration assistant might have copied the files, but it doesn't mean it has created your iTunes library again. If so, the only thing you have to do import your music to iTunes again, by dragging and dropping while iTunes is open.
The case might be the same with iPhoto.
