<p>is there some way i could get teaching myself piano during my freetime to look like an extracurricular?
does music ability only count if you've like won awards?
is there any way i could work it into my application? assuming i spent an hour a day practicing. because i like playing piano but i don't take lessons or anything.
what about guitar?</p>
<p>sorry if its a dumb question, but i just realy dont have anything cool to put about myself on an application.</p>
<p>ye it probably won't seem too special. Everyone plays piano and a lot of people spend a lot more time practicing than you do.</p>
<p>I think that if you enjoy it, put it down as an extracurricular activity, and put down the 7 hours/week you spend doing it. Write in an essay that you're self-taught. It's a hobby for you, it seems. So, why not put it, especially if you think you have nothing else to put down?</p>
<p>You can send in a recording if you want, also. This is typically, of course, if you are rather extraordinary or you plan on majoring in it.</p>
<p>It will look better than that amount of time spent playing video games or watching TV, but will not be a hook of any sort. Formal lessons with a teacher would have looked better still.</p>
<p>ok I'll add it, but i wasn't planning on using it as a hook, i just wanted more stuff on an application so id look better</p>
