<p>I'm thinking about playing the piano, the bass guitar and the saxophone for the arts supplement.</p>
<p>(this is regarding the piano) I have won hardly any awards, I only have 3rd prize in the national piano competition when I was 8. Also, I have a rather sporadic teacher history... I had a teacher for 1 year in the beginning, and then pretty much played by myself, and had two teachers who taught me about 6 months each, one when I was 15 and the other when I was 17.</p>
<p>So, would these be good enough to help me in my college admission? Because I currently live in Sri Lanka(but I'm a Korean) and I'm regarded as very talented here, but I don't know how high the standards are in the US. I don't want to be seen as a vain person who tries to show off when he's not even that good.</p>
<p>Colleges that I'm applying to: Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, Middlebury, Grinnell, Colgate, Wesleyan</p>
<p>I won't be doing music major, I'm thinking IR or Religious studies.</p>
<p>You’re not allowed to post links to youtube on CC. You also might get better advice if you post this on the music major forum. If you’ve only been playing saxophone for a month, it’s highly unlikely you’re talented enough to send an arts supplement.</p>
<p>Make sure you’re looking at arts supplement requirements from each school. The assumption is almost always that you would be sending a supplement with three contrasting pieces on a single instrument. Your best bed would almost certain be submitting three recordings of you playing the piano.</p>
