[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on the school and the instrument, submitting a music supplement can definitely help.  If it’s an uncommon instrument (eg bassoon, French horn, piccolo) even better. My kid submitted a supplement to schools that would take it.  My advice would be to try to record the supplement the summer before senior year and work with your son’s private instructor (if he has one) to do so.  It took more time than we thought and was the last piece of her applications she finished.  Also, when you are looking at schools, make sure non-majors can play in the ensembles your son would want to be in.  At our state flagship it is very difficult to play in the orchestra if you’re not a music major, so that was a negative for my kid.  She ended up at a SLAC where most of the kids in the orchestra are not music majors.  [/quote]

Yes yes yes! He sounds great. Definitely do the music supplement, but don't force his two passions together. I especially love the tip about making sure that there are good options for non-music majors. [/quote]
