Piano Student: Yun
Love Dina!!! I have been meeting with Dina for online piano lessons and I love her! I really appreciate her teaching style is great. She allows me to play, make mistakes, and offer excellent solutions. I highly recommend her because you will make improvements on day one!
Student: Jenia
I had a great time taking the online music lessons in the OMC platform! The content is interesting and easy to understand, making it far more engaging and pleasant than normal textbooks. The quizzes and exams helped to reinforce my understanding of the content. I also enjoyed the many music examples placed throughout the platform. I appreciate how user-friendly the software is, as it has made my educational path in the course both productive and pleasant.
Prof. Joseph Amante y Zapata
When I initiated History of Rock at CCRI, I never imagined it would succeed as it has. (It helped get us through the pandemic.) The service has been amazing to the faculty and students and I want to call out Emily as a fantastic person to work with!
Guitar Student: TW
This past semester I had the opportunity to be Jonathan Trotta’s guitar student and I feel like I learned so much from him! He really knows how to bring out the inner musician within his student even more, from technique, to different approaches within the piece itself, learning how to let the inner harmony really sing and much more! He is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend him!
Prof. Oscar Dames, University of Bahamas
All the music resources, introduction to new topics, examples, instructions, demonstrations were all interactive and the entire course was taught right from the platform in addition to me using the dry erase board for further instructions. Students were able to complete mock quizzes and tests and received immediate feedback before their graded tests. The music course was built to my specification and I was able to hide, add and delete information from the course as the need arises. Technical assistance from the C4E staff was readily available and done in a timely fashion. Using this platform was a rewarding experience for me and I would definitely recommend it to other professors.
Piano Student: Michelle
Ms. Peng is a professional in piano. She has patience. I am very happy that I found such a great mentor. Highly recommend it if you need a piano mentor.
Student: Nyah
I liked the OMC platform; it was very easy to use. The feature that allows you to track your progress is great, and each music lesson had a lot of audio examples that I enjoyed listening to. The content was not boring, in fact it was rather interesting. Sometimes the quizzes would shake on the screen, but overall, the experience was exciting and enjoyable. However, I would've liked if you can track how many questions you've completed without clicking the tab, like if it was already on the screen without bothering the quiz content.
Dr. Steven Thompson, American River College
American River College chose Connect For Education due to its deep understanding of music education and commitment to innovation. The partnership empowered the institution to realize its vision of comprehensive online music education, a feat unmatched by other publishers.
Dr. Audley Chambers, Oakland University
The Connect for Education music courses are a rich media content-driven text that can be used like a regular textbook or delivered to your target audience in a synchronous or asynchronous fashion. Most, if not all of their texts come with a variety of ancillary materials to help navigate, structure the course as well as engage students.
Prof Susan Bruckner, Cabrillo Community College
I highly recommend C4E music courses. They are extremely well-designed and go into great depth with writing, visual snapshots, audio & video. Support is extremely helpful and quick to respond.
Incredible Amount of Information, Willow Bui
Lu Peng was a great piano teacher who had an incredible amount of information that I wouldn't have ever thought of. I really appreciate how she taught it as well, it made the time pass incredibly quickly as every moment was filled with information and knowledge.

I appreciated my guitar mentor's style, he had wonderful finesse in his message, really awesome, sensitive to age of student.
