I don’t recommend the third teacher rec. You risk irritating the admissions people, who are swamped with paper and who have expressly asked for two teacher recommendations. If there is someone else --coach, employer, outside music teacher-- who could provide valuable additional information about you, you could ask him/her to submit an extra recommendation. But I would not ask another teacher from the high school to write a rec.
