<p>I'm considering submitting a music supplement in the fall. I've been singing in choirs since I was three, and have participated in NJ All-State all years of high school, as well as other choruses. I just had a discussion with my voice teacher, and she wants me to include these songs as a supplemental application:</p>
<ol>
<li>Green Finch and Linnet Bird (from Sweeney Todd)</li>
<li>Voi Che Sapete (From Le Nozze De Figaro)</li>
<li>Pie Jesu (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem)</li>
<li><p>How Could I Ever Know (from The Secret Garden)
1 more Broadway song</p></li>
<li><p>Is this an appropiate number of songs for a supplement? Is it too many? I've heard 3 somewhere, I just don't remember where.</p></li>
<li><p>Is this a good variety of songs? Are they unique songs, or have they have been overdone?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I appreciate any help! Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t know if I would include another Broadway song. While the school you wish to attend may occasionally put on musicals featuring Broadway-style music, your supplement will likely be evaluated by members of the music department with more classical training. I might suggest a song in German. </p>
<p>Also, I would stay away from Pie Jesu. It’s written as a duet with a choral accompaniment, so you’re either going to be missing a significant portion of it (the harmony) or you’ll have other people singing in your supplement, which will be not good for those evaluating your application. After all, they want to hear what you can do. :)</p>
<p>Wait, really? I was under the impression that supplemental applications were still viewed by the admissions officers who reviewed all other applications (I’m not applying for a music program)</p>
<p>What makes you think that a school getting thousands of applications has time to view supplemental information?</p>
<p>Would it be terrible to not have an accompanist?</p>
