Out of class

I’ll give a short answer but I would say no, don’t do it, and yes for the reason you mentioned. Your extracurricular actives are judged based on 1) skill/talent (how good you are at it, whether you’re highly ranked or if you’ve won awards) 2) commitment (how long you’ve been in it) 3) passion (is it something you’re doing just for the sake of admissions or do you really enjoy it) and 4) relevance to major (is it something random you’re doing just to look good or does it make sense). I would not submit a music portfolio if you’re not good at music. I would consider quitting music if you’re not good at it since it will not get you far in college admissions and it will take up a lot of time that yo could use to advance yourself somewhere else that would b more productive, i.e. self initiative like a blog or podcast, sat/act prep, studying to get better grades. What i’m suggesting is that unless it’s a stress reliever or something you really enjoy it might not be worth it; don’t do that activity just cause you think it looks good for college if you’re not good at it in the first place.
