[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about students who play non classical instruments - such as electric guitar? [/quote]

Plenty of schools offer ensembles in non-classical instruments -- most commonly in jazz bands, which all can use electric guitars (if the player plays jazz).  Some might have other ensembles or big theatre programs that require pit orchestras. Look at what ensembles/programs the music department lists, and what the music supplement asks for, and that will give you a clue as to whether music in your DC's case will be move from a typical EC to something the school really wants.  Can your DC provide a recording/video showing skill at what they are asking for?  Is your DC interested only in playing guitar, or also studying music (so, for example, have they taking AP or IB Music Theory and can legitimately say they plan to engage in x, y, or z classes in the Music Dept when they get to a school)?  Music is a great EC no matter what, but it becomes a hook if the applicant can demonstrate that they offer something the school says it's looking for.
