No idea on what level one becomes a super-star pianist to impress college admins. I’d encourage your kid to keep playing (nominally) because of the opportunities brought on by piano, as other have said.

my daughter has played piano (NOT competitively) but for fun through the years. It’s neat to see the opportunities brought on by it: she played keyboards in a HS band; then was asked to play in a band at church (1000s attend); she’s played entertaining & funny songs at HS talent shows; she plays on street corners where there’s pianos, and she played at a math contest randomly – All to applause. Last month in college she was eyeing a grand piano at a donor event & started playing and received lots of applause from the admin/adults.

This is an EC that she loves; and she loves the applause! She listed it as an EC on her college resume, but I don’t think it has much to do with her getting in to college or helping pay for college. That was all grades/test scores!!
