I seem to remember Manhattan School of Music and possibly one or two others requiring one letter be from your guidance counselor and one from your private lesson instructor–each school can have little variations on this. You have to read instructions carefully. We had one from the English teacher who knew our son well, and one from the Music Theory teacher who taught him all four years through high school, and we often sent more letters than were requested, just to get all those angles in. Music applicants are representing both their academic and musical sides. I don’t think schools mind “supplemental” recommendations. It shows your strong desire to be accepted. If a lesson teacher is an alum of a school, for example, have him email or send a letter to admissions.

Wow, I am starting to flashback to last Fall…!
