    Other than doing all of the SCM enrichment, because we don’t really do all of it, what else can count for a high school Fine Arts credit?  As of now, dd has taken classical ballet for 5 years, piano lessons for 5 years and will continue with both of those through high school.  We also do SCM artist studies regularly and composer studies occasionally.

    What should I add to make it more well-rounded?  or how much can I count of what we’ve done already?

    I did a quick google search and found this:

    Sounds like you’re doing enough. Count her lesson/practice hours and any time spent at concerts and watching dance performances.

    She could do a bio of whichever composer she’s playing on the piano and to whose music she’s dancing.

    Also, add in folk music studies. Ambleside Online has yearly selections from which to choose.

    Carol Reynolds, Professor Carol, has American and world music, art, and cultural studies.

    Some exposure to theater: musicals, plays, operas.

    The Great Courses has lectures by Prof. Robert Greenberg, who has lectures (w/guidebooks) covering music, composers,  and opera. TGC also has lectures related to the visual arts.

    You log the hours she spends on these and those become a credit.
