Kathy, I think that’s perfectly acceptable! I know a lot of kids who didn’t get Math/Science recs - I was just suggesting it as it might help show an applicant as well-rounded. You should never submit two recommendations from the same subject though. Try to mix 'em up at least a bit. Perhaps English and history or a foreign language and history, etc…

Halfsie, I personally didn’t send out any additional recs, but I see no problem in submitting one for a specialty field like music. I think Northwestern would love to see someone write highly of you for a non-academic area like music. It would only help in my humble opinion.
