Dear Nancy,

My children don’t enjoy practicing their instrument, and to be honest, I’m not sure they have much natural talent for it, but I hesitate to let them stop. When I see their peers passing exams like CM Level 10 or ABRSM Grade 8, I can’t help but worry that my children will fall behind. Do these music exam certificates matter for college applications?

Thank you for your help!

Nancy老师，你好！

我的孩子不喜欢练琴，好像也没什么天分。但如果不练，看别家孩子都过了CM十级英皇八级，我又担心他们落后。音乐考级证书在大学申请时重要吗？

多谢指点！
