music supplement to Harvard - what is good enough to help

<p>Hey those of you who send music supplement to harvard - how good is good enough to help? do you send a video? or what else? thanks for the info.</p>

<p>First, it should be a CD, not a DVD or VHS tape. It should not be a CD from a performance you have done. Ideally, it should be a CD taken in a recording studio, or at least with good quality recording equipment in a reasonably good recording space (your living room would not be ideal). It should be only you, or if you are a singer, an accompanyist. The CD should be approximately 10 minutes. Second, your ability should be someone who would be good enough to consider a conservatory or major music department. That does not mean that you <em>want</em> to be a music major or to play/sing professionally, but that it might be within the realm of possibility.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that someone is going to listen to your CD and you don’t want to waste their time if your ability is limited.</p>

<p>Thank you so much, Hat! very helpful!!</p>
