00:00:03
hello my name is Anthony and I'm
00:00:06
currently a freshman at Stanford
00:00:08
studying computer science
00:00:09
in this lesson video I'll discuss the
00:00:11
college application process specifically
00:00:13
for people interested in applying to
00:00:14
music schools or creating Arts
00:00:16
portfolios so to begin just a little bit
00:00:18
of a background about myself as my main
00:00:21
extracurricular in high school I did
00:00:23
music so I decided to highlight that my
00:00:25
applications by creating a music
00:00:26
portfolio to supplement it I also
00:00:28
applied to several music schools for the
00:00:29
music degree or dual degree programs
00:00:31
with music and Engineering because I
00:00:33
knew I wanted to CS some of these
00:00:35
schools include CMU University of
00:00:37
Michigan and Northwestern so essentially
00:00:39
when I was applying to schools my
00:00:41
strategy was to apply to dual degree in
00:00:42
music schools because my music was much
00:00:44
stronger than my CS so I decided that my
00:00:47
music would help carry me into these
00:00:49
programs so essentially for music when
00:00:51
you're applying to music schools or
00:00:52
preparing music portfolios each school
00:00:55
has their own restrictions and their own
00:00:57
guidelines therefore I recommend that
00:00:58
you start researching and making a
00:01:00
Google doc of every school you want to
00:01:02
apply to and their specific music
00:01:04
requirements so for example for Stanford
00:01:07
their requirement was pretty simple
00:01:08
because it's not not really a music
00:01:10
school they asked for an Arts portfolio
00:01:12
and for Arts portfolios the requirements
00:01:14
are generally more easier I guess than
00:01:16
the music schools which have more
00:01:18
rigorous requirements so for Stanford
00:01:20
specifically the requirement was
00:01:21
basically just send in 10 minutes video
00:01:23
worth of performance or music
00:01:25
performance with um and for my years
00:01:27
covet so it was just solo instrumental
00:01:29
but sometimes they might even have
00:01:30
accompanist so make sure you prepare
00:01:32
that as well so that's the stand for
00:01:34
Arts portfolio and many other schools
00:01:36
such as Harvard or other private schools
00:01:37
also allow you to send an arts for
00:01:39
photos like this and typically they
00:01:41
range around 10 to 15 minutes of video
00:01:43
performance for you to submit and this
00:01:45
is also very similar to Arts not just
00:01:47
music so for Arts basically you send in
00:01:50
like a digital portfolio of your Arts
00:01:52
um but you can look into that more on
00:01:54
your own in the school's websites so we
00:01:56
talked about preparing Arts portfolios
00:01:58
for specific schools like Stanford now
00:02:00
I'll touch on a little bit about
00:02:01
applying to music schools and those um
00:02:03
guidelines so for music schools it's a
00:02:05
lot more rigorous for example when I
00:02:07
apply to um Michigan or Northwestern
00:02:09
they also required me to prepare a
00:02:11
spoken introduction of myself as well as
00:02:13
like scales and etudes and even more
00:02:16
pieces so I had to record a lot because
00:02:19
of that if you're planning to submit a
00:02:21
portfolio to music schools or to private
00:02:24
schools I recommend you start super
00:02:25
early or perhaps even record in the
00:02:27
summer like some of my friends did
00:02:28
because it gets you a big head start on
00:02:31
everything another reason for you to
00:02:32
start early is because the deadline for
00:02:34
music schools or people who submit music
00:02:36
applications or music portfolios is a
00:02:38
lot earlier than regular decision so for
00:02:40
example for me I applied to Stanford
00:02:42
early action and the early action
00:02:44
deadline for most schools like Stanford
00:02:45
are November 1st but for music portfolio
00:02:48
applicants or people who want to submit
00:02:50
an Arts portfolio the deadline is much
00:02:51
earlier I think it's like one or two
00:02:53
weeks earlier in October and this is
00:02:55
good actually because it forces you to
00:02:56
be on top of stuff but also it means
00:02:58
that you must start preparing very early
00:03:00
so yeah when you're applying to music
00:03:01
schools or to schools that require an
00:03:04
Arts portfolio or like submit one each
00:03:06
school's requirements are different so
00:03:08
make sure you very carefully review you
00:03:10
and take notes on it and write down like
00:03:12
a list of music and a twos and scales
00:03:14
that you want to prepare for each school
00:03:15
that way when you're actually recording
00:03:17
you can tackle them at the same time and
00:03:19
to reduce the amount of time you need to
00:03:20
spend recording another huge tip that I
00:03:22
have is that over the summer before
00:03:24
senior year before you apply to colleges
00:03:26
and you know you want to do some music
00:03:28
in college or maybe not even music major
00:03:30
just you want to play music I strongly
00:03:32
recommend that you email the music
00:03:34
Professor that you know will be teaching
00:03:36
your instrument for example if you're
00:03:37
doing flute go ahead and send an email
00:03:39
to the food professor at school or you
00:03:41
play clarinet send a email to the Future
00:03:43
at X school and try to set up a trial
00:03:45
lesson with them this is a very standard
00:03:47
practice with musicians who want to
00:03:49
continue music in college so make sure
00:03:52
this is a very good tip if you want to
00:03:53
get to know the professor better because
00:03:54
ultimately they'll probably be the ones
00:03:56
who are listening to your audition or
00:03:58
portfolio and also that way you know
00:04:00
what the teaching style is like and if
00:04:02
you really want to learn from them in
00:04:04
the future so I told you to start early
00:04:06
and how to prepare your music and do
00:04:08
your research so I'll talk a little bit
00:04:10
about my own personal experience
00:04:11
applying to music schools and preparing
00:04:13
music for Arts portfolios or my
00:04:15
auditions so essentially I started
00:04:17
research around September or August more
00:04:20
like August I started my recent August
00:04:21
and I prepared this huge Google doc with
00:04:24
each individual school and under school
00:04:26
I had a bunch of bullet points about
00:04:27
what the school's requirements are for
00:04:29
example some schools only want 10
00:04:31
minutes of music like Stanford some
00:04:32
schools want 15 to 20 minutes like maybe
00:04:34
for music auditions like new Michigan or
00:04:37
Northwestern which are two of the top
00:04:39
saxophone Studios so it's a lot more
00:04:40
rigorous and essentially the process for
00:04:42
music schools is that once you submit a
00:04:45
pre-screening recording which is very
00:04:46
similar to an Arts portfolio where you
00:04:48
submit to like Stanford once you submit
00:04:50
that the professor will review it and
00:04:51
only if you pass the pre-screening will
00:04:53
you be invited to do a live audition and
00:04:55
for the live audition normal years you
00:04:57
would actually travel to Northwestern or
00:04:58
to you Michigan or to whatever school
00:05:00
you got invited to and auditioned with
00:05:02
the professor their in-person live which
00:05:04
is kind of a stressful but it really
00:05:06
lets you get to know the professor in
00:05:07
person and it's really good and for me
00:05:09
because of kovid the auditions were
00:05:11
online and virtual but I actually didn't
00:05:13
end up accepting any of the audition
00:05:15
invites I got because I already had
00:05:16
gotten to Stanford and I knew I wanted
00:05:18
to go to Stanford so yeah I after I've
00:05:21
did my research and picked out the music
00:05:22
I want to play I asked a lot of my
00:05:24
mentors and teachers that I met
00:05:26
throughout High School to guide me and
00:05:28
give me advice on what pieces I should
00:05:29
play for my saxophone audition and once
00:05:31
I had all that listed out I began
00:05:33
preparing it obviously I was already
00:05:35
preparing some of these pieces since
00:05:37
January of the same year it's really
00:05:39
good to have pieces that you have
00:05:41
already under your fingers and then
00:05:42
beginning October through November I
00:05:45
began recording and thankfully my school
00:05:48
band director allowed me to come into
00:05:49
the school and use one of the
00:05:51
performance or rehearsal hauls to record
00:05:53
my recordings and it took me a long time
00:05:55
I came in basically five days a week and
00:05:57
recorded for two hours every day of my
00:05:59
senior year throughout October and
00:06:01
November and some of December and I
00:06:04
ended up getting recordings that I was
00:06:06
really proud of and obviously they
00:06:07
turned out pretty well because they got
00:06:09
into Stanford I got past pre-screening
00:06:10
for Northwestern new Michigan CMU
00:06:12
basically all the places I applied to so
00:06:15
it worked out well but it was very
00:06:16
growing and a very long process now I
00:06:19
want to talk about a little bit about
00:06:20
how I submit these music portfolios and
00:06:22
how you actually send them in so as many
00:06:25
of you may know the comment application
00:06:26
is where you submit most of your college
00:06:29
applications that themselves like the
00:06:31
transcripts the essays your grades your
00:06:33
honors your words everything extra
00:06:34
healers all of that the typical stuff
00:06:37
but for music portfolios then we don't
00:06:38
submit your music videos you don't
00:06:40
submit it through the common application
00:06:41
and it actually differs through each
00:06:43
school what you submit it in like for
00:06:46
example for Harvard they submit through
00:06:48
something called slide room or slideshow
00:06:49
I think something like that and then for
00:06:51
Stanford you submit through their own
00:06:52
Stanford Arts portfolio website and it's
00:06:54
very specific so that's why I also
00:06:56
recommend you submit your applications
00:06:58
early when you want to submit to music
00:06:59
schools or submit a music portfolio
00:07:01
because it takes a while it might
00:07:03
confuse you when you're submitting your
00:07:05
videos themselves onto the respective
00:07:07
portals of each school for example for
00:07:09
me when I was planning Stanford I had a
00:07:11
little bit of trouble submitting my
00:07:12
videos onto the Stanford music portal
00:07:14
and I had to email the Stanford um music
00:07:16
people to help me out and eventually we
00:07:18
figured it out and it was all fine but I
00:07:20
was glad that I submitted a bit early to
00:07:23
work out all the Kinks and figure out
00:07:24
and make sure that my application was
00:07:26
received successfully another few tips
00:07:28
that I want to tell you about because I
00:07:30
only found that out when I was doing my
00:07:31
application but one thing is that you
00:07:33
don't have to record all your videos or
00:07:36
all your pieces in one take you can
00:07:38
record each piece separately and then
00:07:39
put them together into one video or you
00:07:41
can just submit them separately as
00:07:43
separate videos that's completely fine
00:07:44
another thing I want to mention is that
00:07:46
like me if you are thinking about
00:07:48
applying to dual degree programs there
00:07:50
are actually some very interesting ones
00:07:51
for different schools for example the
00:07:53
one I applied to CMU for is called a
00:07:55
bcsa program which stands for Bachelor's
00:07:58
in computer science and arts essentially
00:08:00
it's one bachelor's degree where you
00:08:02
study both arts or music and computer
00:08:04
science so you get the Best of Both
00:08:06
Worlds at CMU the school of computer
00:08:07
science and the School of Arts there
00:08:09
which I really love I actually really
00:08:10
love this program and special story
00:08:12
about when I apply to CMU I actually
00:08:14
submitted my audition and two days later
00:08:17
the saxophone professor at CMU emailed
00:08:19
me telling me that he really want
00:08:20
economy there so my saxophone basically
00:08:23
got me to CMU within two days of me
00:08:25
submitting my application and
00:08:27
unfortunately I had to turn him down for
00:08:28
Stanford but it was really nice to see
00:08:30
somebody who really wanted me there at
00:08:32
their school and honestly I would have
00:08:33
been so happy going to CMU and doing the
00:08:35
pcsa program there I that program just
00:08:38
sounds perfect for me who is like a
00:08:39
lover of both Cs and music so yeah like
00:08:42
in that case I feel like if you are
00:08:44
really strong at music or art or
00:08:46
anything in that sense and you want to
00:08:48
show colleges more about who you are and
00:08:50
prove to them
00:08:51
um that what you talked about in your
00:08:52
extracurriculars or your essays is true
00:08:54
I really recommend you submit or prepare
00:08:57
something prepare a music audition a
00:08:59
video to send into college yourself to
00:09:01
let them see the only reason that
00:09:03
they'll knock you down if you submit a
00:09:05
music audition or a music video is if
00:09:07
you are considered a waste of time for
00:09:09
them to listen to you but in the most
00:09:11
common case it's just if you aren't good
00:09:13
enough or like like super good it'll
00:09:16
just be like okay cool they can actually
00:09:17
play their instrument they're actually
00:09:18
competent but and then the other level
00:09:21
is if you're super good they might be
00:09:23
like oh my God we really want this
00:09:24
person in our music program that we
00:09:26
really want them to play with us here at
00:09:28
X school and the only chance of them
00:09:31
thinking of your music portfolio being a
00:09:33
bad things your application is if it's
00:09:34
super bad so just spend a bit of time on
00:09:36
it make sure it's clean and good have
00:09:38
your teachers check it have your
00:09:40
teachers listen to it and you should be
00:09:41
completely fine and another thing on a
00:09:43
similar note is that the music and
00:09:45
portfolio or audition or music
00:09:46
supplement is graded by each like by the
00:09:49
professor at each school which is why I
00:09:51
recommended you to take lessons from the
00:09:53
professors at each school and it's
00:09:54
usually graded like on a scale like one
00:09:56
to six for example at Stanford one being
00:09:57
the best and six being the worst so like
00:09:59
if you get like I said if you get
00:10:00
anything between like a three or four it
00:10:02
won't help your application too much but
00:10:04
also won't hurt so like it's always
00:10:05
worth a shot if you get a one um I
00:10:07
actually looked at my Stanford
00:10:09
admissions file and I found out that I
00:10:11
got a one on my Arts portfolio and one
00:10:13
basically means that the saxophone
00:10:15
Professor or the music Professor who
00:10:16
listened to your audition really wants
00:10:18
you at the school and recommend the
00:10:20
admissions office to let you into the
00:10:23
school to accept you just so the music
00:10:24
program may have for you so this is why
00:10:26
I really like tell people to submit
00:10:28
their application with a music
00:10:30
authorship because for the most part it
00:10:32
can only help you so yeah that's about
00:10:33
all I have to say about applying to
00:10:35
music schools and submitting music
00:10:37
supplements to colleges overall just
00:10:39
make sure you do a lot of research and
00:10:41
organize it on a Google doc on each
00:10:43
school's specific requirements and try
00:10:45
to film your portfolio so that you can
00:10:46
submit the same videos that each School
00:10:47
kill three birds will in stone however
00:10:49
the saying goes and make sure you start
00:10:51
preparing early the earlier the better
00:10:53
so yeah if you have any questions feel
00:10:55
free to let me know or sign up for one
00:10:57
of my tutoring sessions and I hope
00:10:59
you've enjoyed this class let me know if
00:11:01
you have any questions
