<p>I’ve been rejected from most of my colleges and have taken a gap year. I’ve started learning the guitar. Do you think a recommendation from my music teacher at the end of the year will help?</p>

<p>You posted a thread just like this. You do not need two.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what you’d be expecting to accomplish with a music teacher’s recommendation that couldn’t be done better by a teacher or coach who has known you longer and in a more school-oriented context.</p>
<p>I think it would sound more exciting if you got paying gigs, joined a band, played at a charity event or your church, entered a contest, tutored disadvantaged children on the guitar, etc. Just saying that you are taking lessons doesn’t sound very interesting. Is the guitar your only activity or are you doing other things you can write about?</p>
