<p>Slideroom takes links to Youtube and I have a video recording of 2 performances i want to submit. Can I just submit this video link or should I submit audio files. The problem is this:
Audio files have to be only 30 mb and mine is way bigger that and so link to youtube is the best option. But I cannot tell if video links are allowed by Yale ( all other colleges let you )</p>

<p>TIA</p>

<p>Audio Recordings. You need to edit the audio file down and be sure to include “two or three pieces of contrasting styles (e.g. Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern) that demonstrate abilities in the areas of tone, technique, and interpretation. Submissions of recordings and scores of popular music or jazz at a high level are welcome.”</p>

Supplementary Materials for Admission</p>

<p>Yale College does not conduct musical auditions for applicants. Music faculty members will review selected audio recordings or scores from advanced musicians, whether or not they wish to major in music as undergraduates. Please consider sending musical materials only if your accomplishments are truly outstanding for a high school musician and if your playing or composing is a strong and important part of your application. Submissions that demonstrate an average or merely competent level of ability for a high school musician will not help your application.</p>

<p>If you wish to submit audio recordings as a supplement to your application, you must do so at our online supplementary materials submissions website by the appropriate application deadline (November 1 for Single-Choice Early Action candidates; December 31 for Regular Decision candidates; March 1 for transfer candidates).</p>

<p>Here are some additional guidelines:</p>

<ul>
<li>Submissions from instrumentalists and vocalists should consist of two or three pieces of contrasting styles (e.g. Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern) that demonstrate abilities in the areas of tone, technique, and interpretation. Singers should submit at least one piece in a foreign language. Do not present selections from method books. - -Whole pieces or movements (as opposed to excerpts) are preferred.</li>
</ul>

<p>-Submissions from composers should contain scores and matching recordings.</p>

<ul>
<li>Audio materials must be in .mp3 file format. Musical scores must be in .pdf file format.</li>
</ul>

<p>Submissions of recordings and scores of popular music or jazz at a high level are welcome.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>**Although your recording need not be of professional quality it should be sufficiently clear of distracting interference to enable the evaluator to arrive at a judgment. Live recordings from recitals or performances are fine so long as the quality is high enough to discern the applicant’s musical abilities. **Scores must be neat and legible.</p></li>
<li><p>When uploading individual files onto the supplementary materials website, please indicate the title and composer of each submission, including movements, in the space provided. (For example, “Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 35, Scherzo. Frederic Chopin.”).</p></li>
<li><p>To submit recordings or scores, please check the appropriate box in Section VI of the Yale Supplement to the Common Application, titled “Supplementary Materials.”
