For most of the colleges I’m planning on applying to I will be submitting a research abstract + letter of rec from PI, and I’m wondering if it is too much to also submit a music supplement. I have the equivalent of an associate’s level degree in piano, and have been teaching for two years, but it’s not the major focus of my application (the STEM stuff is), and I don’t play a string instrument, so university orchestras in general don’t appeal to me. Do you think I should submit one (I was planning on 1st and 3rd mvts of Beethoven’s Appassionata) just to validate my skill level?
You could submit a short one, but since you don’t plan on majoring in it, I wouldn’t send anything long.
