<p>I've been taking private music lessons for about 10 years. Under the EC section, should I put down just the hours of the actual lesson or that combined with the length of time I spend practicing for the lesson as well. This would make a 15 hr difference/week.</p>
<p>I’d add in the 15 hours/week. I was kind of border-line lying in my app. For instance, when I put down chess team hours, I actually included time to catch the bus back home. I did that for every activity. Kind of cheap, but whatever.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think the intent of that section is for the college to see how much of your week went to each activity. If you wanted to be more precise, you could label your activities as music, and say that that includes practicing time, lesson time, and whatnot in the description.</p>
<p>I don’t see any way that you could say practicing is any less of an activity than taking lessons is.</p>
