<p>a few questions.</p>
<p>i don't have a recommendation from a music teacher, would that be a problem? my piano teacher gives me instruction in a different language and my teachers from other instruments just don't know me as well as a player and as a person..</p>
<p>how long can the repertoire / resume be?</p>
<p>common app wants a link to a musical recording? can't i just..do a CD instead and send it to all of my schools?</p>
<p>THANKS.</p>
<p>I second the first few questions!
Anyone?</p>
<p>The Common App arts supplement suggests sending (for music) a 10 minute CD or DVD--not sure where you saw something requesting a link to a recording. The arts supplement also asks for a recommendation of someone who is familiar with your work, so yes, getting a music teacher would be a good idea. </p>
<p>The reason to use the arts supplement is to highlight something--in the words of the Common app arts supplement:</p>
<p>" If you’ve made a substantial commitment of time and energy to one or more of the arts and you wish to have that considered as part of your application"</p>
<p>It also requests that you send a resume highlighting your experience in your particular area, but doesn't specify the length of the resume. In general, if you can keep it to a couple of pages, that would be great.</p>
<p>you might want to contact individual colleges, because they might have different policies on music supplements. for example, some colleges say that they do not require a recommendation from a music teacher even if you are using the common app supplement.</p>
<p>Okay, and btw, if you fill the music supplement online it DOES ask you for a link... Anyway, I don't know why it's available online since we have to submit a CD recording through mail anyway.
Thanks.</p>
