<p>This is just my opinion…I think art supplements should be for something you have a real talent for, not just an EC. There are a lot of piano players out there, most of them are not good enough for it to be a hook to get into a school. Both of my kids also do piano and ballet. When my older daughter applied to college 2 years ago, she only sent in a DVD for ballet. She played piano for over 10 years, but never competed. Whereas she danced at some very reputable schools. There were a few instructors from some schools on your list that would have been very interested in having her. They did give very good recommendations for her, but dance teachers usually do not have the same pull as sports coaches. For dance, she did a technical demo, a classic ballet, and a jazz piece. She kept the DVD pretty short, but she did “audition” at those schools.</p>
