<p>I've been practicing piano for about 2 1/2 years now, and I'm getting really sick of it and want to quit. My guidance counselor said I could put piano down as an activity I did outside of school, but would I need my piano teacher's signature on anything in order to do that? Because it would be really awkward going back to her after I quit, and it would make me really uncomfortable. Plus I did things like participate in a benefit concert to raise money for the music department and stuff like that, so if I put that down on a college application, would they need proof from my piano teacher or anything? Because I would really just like to quit and never see her again.</p>
<p>On your college apps you can say you visited the president of Kenya and worked as an adviser. However, on all apps you sign something saying “all of the above info is true blah blah blah”
If you get caught lying, you won’t be accepted for sure, and may even be blacklisted by other colleges.
To answer your question, you do NOT need her signature. I don’t need my coaches to sign anything saying I played a varsity sport.</p>
<p>I will end up actually doing something pretty similar. I played piano regularly up to junior year when I just quit, but it’s still something extracurricular worthy.</p>
<p>The college apps that I have seen ask activites by the year, i.e. you can put down piano for 9th and 10th grade only. It is mostly a honor system. You don’t need any signature. But some colleges do ramdom audits.</p>
<p>As ShakeMeDown pointed out, you sign a statement that everything you put down is true and there are consequences if they find out otherwise.</p>
