[quote=Anonymous]Yes, definitely.  In addition to including it as an activity on Common App, she should include a few of her most prestigious awards in honors section and submit a portfolio where possible.  Many colleges have optional music portfolio supplements.  Some have specific requirements on types of submissions,  so start looking at requirements for various schools that interest her. The portfolio usually is not viewed by admissions --  it gets sent to someone in music department,  and they send back a score and maybe some notes. It is only helpful if they are really good, but it sounds like your kid is at that level. It's a great way to help your kid's app stand out at a competitive school.

I probably factors into her identity,  so it may also crop up in Common App essay or a supplemental essay.

If the school asks for a personal video,  you can also include a snippet on that.

Highly competitive schools love an interesting narrative,  and music can certainly play a role in helping a kid stand out.

My kids both submitted music supplements to various schools and both very happy. Definitely helped them stand out in terms of both talent and overall narrative.

Good luck![/quote]
