How do music lessons help college admissions?

Written By Jason Land

Hey Friends!

Hoping today is going great for you!

I recently sat down with Evelyn from Magellan College Counseling for a conversation about the true impact music lessons, specifically, programmed music lessons like Guitar Ninjas have on college admissions.

You can watch the 5-minute interview HERE

The key takeaways:

  • Enrollment in the arts (music, dance, etc.) pre-college is an asset to have on an application

  • College admission staff are looking less at test scores and more at what students do outside of school

  • Depth of involvement and commitment matters when it comes to extracurricular activities

  • Being able to describe that you (as the student) completed a music course (Guitar Ninjas) looks great on an application

Evelyn had much to share and if your child will be applying for college in the near future I’d highly suggest giving it a view!

Have a great weekend!
