<p>Would those of you who included application supplements in the performing arts mind sharing some of the details. For example, for dance, did you submit a video, have an audition or visit a class. Also what is your level of experience. For theater, did you send in a video and what did it contain (past performance, monologue, etc.). For music, audio tape or video? I think many prospective students are curious about this process.</p>
<p>Also, if you sent in audio or video tapes, did you have it professionally done or just a friend with a camcorder? Where did you tape your performance?</p>
<p>I did an on-campus audition with the music department in place of a vocal supplement. They asked for two classical pieces, one preferably in another language. The professor who auditioned me asked me a few questions about my experience and then offered answers to any questions I had. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes. </p>
<p>not to jack the thread or anything, but i have a diff question about the performing arts supplement. see i play the piano and harp basically at the same level (ive been playing both for the same # of years, same amount of performing, orchestral experience, etc.). im wondering if i should send in supplements for both or just one. if i can only send in one, which would look better? thanks.</p>
<p>Sorry for my ignorance (I am a Junior in HS), but you can supplement your college app. with a sample of your talent in the performing arts? Is this only for people who are planning to major in a performing art, or any undergrad app?</p>
<p>Anyone can send in supplements. Princeton gives instructions in the application, although I think some people follow them loosely and send in whatever best highlights their talent. However, some universities and colleges request that no supplements be sent. Of those, some schools will forward supplements to the appropriate department anyway, but others (Georgetown, for sure) will throw them away. But, for the most part, if you have talent in the arts, it can't hurt to send in a supplement.</p>
<p>What did you think of the dance classes you took? Was the ballet class on pointe? What was the level of the classes - did the other students seem like they had trained for years or were they relative beginners, or a mix? Did you find the classes easy or hard?</p>
<p>D sent in one CD with classical guitar and voice - she followed the instructions in the appilcation. Recording was made in a church w/ good acoustics using a min-disc recorder, then burned onto a CD. She applied in engineering, but wants to get a certificate in classical guitar. Don't know if the CD had anything at all to do with her acceptance.</p>
<p>vango- I'm a current student at princeton and love the dance program. a lot of girls take class on pointe (I do on occaison). the level varies. we have former prof. dancers and boys who only started dancing when they got to college. we even have 2 people going on to get MFA's at Tisch next year. class is what you make of it. the teachers adjust based on who's in class on a given day, and will often give dif combinations for dif people.</p>
<p>jssballet-
Thanks for the info. My D is interested in Princeton, and definitely wants to continue with dance in college, so it's good to know the opportunity is there.</p>
<p>obsessivecompulsive I would recommend sending in a harp supplement as it is rarer. Idk if you should do piano too, but harp would make you stick out a little more. Then again, if piano is your forte (pun intended :p) then I would send that.</p>
