<p>Does it? Because the letter my band director wrote about me is pretty awesome and I would like to use it but when I googled “social science” to get a broader meaning, it doesn’t have music listed under it, but then again, music is a humanities subject. </p>
<p>Anybody sent in a music teacher recommendation letter?</p>
<p>My quick google search told me that social science is “the branch of science that studies society and the relationships of individual within a society.”</p>
<p>I would not consider music a social science, I would consider it an art. The Stanford app makes it pretty clear that they want an academic teacher, not an arts teacher (but if your band teacher wrote you a great recommendation, you should consider submitting an arts supplement, which can be extremely helpful to your application.)</p>
