<p>So I have been playing piano for 10 years and the MIT art supplement site seemed pretty friendly, however I don't know if I'm good enough (I'd like to think I'm advanced) and don't really have anything to write on my "music resume" other than piano recitals, and this one music group that I was in that I was the leader of for one year...I was thinking of sending in sonatina by Hayden and Passion(Opus 38 #5) by Mendelsohn and maybe a persian song.
let me know...SHOULD I DO IT?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm sort of in the same position. I've played the Alto Sax for about 9 years or so and I feel I'm fairly advanced, but I have nothing to really put on a specific "music resume". I'm very involved with my school's concert, marching, and jazz bands and am a section leader and woodwind captain, but I haven't competed or participated in any music competitions, nor do I have any awards or distinctions for my ability....so I'm not quite sure what I could write about on a resume. I'm hesitant to send in a supplement because of the resume issue, but I would like to display my ability. Anyone have a suggestion; should I send in the supplement anyways?</p>
<p>I'm an applicant like you, but I think why not? It can't really hurt you, can it? I'm applying with music (but as a composer, my piano is only amateur, even though I've played most of my life).</p>
<p>However, why don't you go and find a few places where you can get awards. I think that there might be one in your area. Sure, it's not flashy, but it may help.</p>
<p>I'm auditioning for Districts this year, and then hopefully for All State as well, but the audition isn't until late November. Thus, I wouldn't have time to put it on the resume unfortunately. I think I'll go ahead though and send the supplement in. Now I just need to pick which pieces I want to do.....</p>
<p>Yeah...I wish I had done those piano competitions my teacher wanted me to do!!! I think my resume will end up being lame like "piano lessions for 10 years...member of Iranian music group...also group leader" and that will be it but I think I'll go ahead and send it..
Oh so what I wanted to know is if they only want 2 songs or as long as its 10 minutes if we can send more and if we can have like singing with it cause I wanted to play Relax, Take it Easy by MIKA. I emailed to ask them but no one has gotten back to me.</p>
<p>My son, now a freshman at MIT, has played piano for a decade. He also plays multiple other instruments, composes, and conducts. Last year, after contacting a music professor for advice, he sent in a music supplement: one CD contained two piano pieces, and another, two bassoon pieces. If you play only one instrument really well, I'd send in just one CD with two pieces of differing style and complexity.</p>
<p>He also submitted a written supplement which included music-related accomplishments and awards at the local, district, and state level.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Yes, thanks, I just don't have any awards to put on the resume, do you think we could include a repitoire as part of the resume? Because I think I will submit</p>
<p>Any addendum should be focused and brief. My son's addendum was not really a resume; it included only awards, honors, and extracurriculars which couldn't be fit in and explained elsewhere. In some places in his application, a mention was made to refer to the addendum. It was, I recall, three pages in total, and sent as an e-mail attachment to Part II. </p>
<p>I think you can include anything you want in an addendum, as long as you really need one; don't reiterate things already listed in the application. You don't want to waste the readers' time.</p>
