So send a CD or DVD, right?

I also suggest calling them to ask what they would prefer, in terms of what is on your DVD. Harvard is not a conservatory. Our daughter asked if they would like her to indicate which 3 minutes would be most important for them to listen to, representing her best work so to speak, and they said that was great. She enclosed a note with which minutes to listen to, with her CD. Admissions people don’t have time to listen to/watch a whole lot of 10 or 15 minute CD’s/DVD’s.

You can also enclose, with your DVD, a music resume, programs or awards, media articles, and letters of recommendation from music teachers or directors, but don’t overdo it. Ask admissions about it. That is always the safest bet.
