Should I submit a music supplement?

I would send the supplement. I sent in one to Yale and all the other schools to which I applied, and I think the recordings helped my application (piano, trumpet, and voice were definitely my primary EC’s, both as a soloist and as a member of an ensemble). While the requirements for supplementary information are being revised on the official Yale website, you couldn’t go wrong for a 9-10 minute recording consisting of 2-3 pieces of different styles.

I’m probably not going to major in music. Especially as you are going to do so, I would highly recommend sending some sort of recording.
