hi
so im planning on minoring in music and the supplement says 10 minutes of music, but my cd is shorter.
its only one piano piece (nocturne in c sharp minor by chopin) and one violin piece (sonata no. 1 in g minor, presto by bach). it also has a small part of meditation from thais on it....is that enough????


thanx
im really in a hurry i have to figure this out today

queencleo14

anyone?

i just need to know if its ok to send 8 minutes of music instead of 10... i dont know how strict colleges are with that sort of thing

Eight is fine. They will not listen to the full amount, but will be able to assess ability by a few passages.

actually i just got back from my teachers house and im in serious trouble. the meditation recording got messed up.
so now i only have the bach on violin, the chopin on piano, and 3 scales on violin...still 8 minutes though

It should be fine--they just want a representative sampling of your work.

I think the point is that they don't want more than 10! They won't listen to 10 minutes, anyway, but, as others have said, will just sample your CD. You could also enclose a note directing them to the few minutes that you consider your best work.

Calling admissions is always reassuring and they are pretty nice about giving out information on this kind of thing.
