<p>I play the flute and would like to send in a recording with my supplements to the Common App. The problem is, the recording studios here are either really bad or outrageously expensive. My family doesn't have the money to spend on high-tech studios and accompanists; they need to save some to send me to college! How would Harvard view a less-than-steller quality recording (if my playing was good, of course)?</p>
<p>What about your teacher? I don't know much about how flutes would turn out on a simple at-home recording, seeing that I'm not a floutist, but I know some people who have teachers who have excellent recording devices.</p>
