Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
Kind and Understanding, Carissa
YooRi is a kind and understanding mentor, and strikes a balance between pushing me and being empathetic to my character.
Prof Joesph Amante, Community College of Rhode Island
I have used Connect 4 Education online music courses for several years now and have stuck with them because of how quickly they address student or instructor questions. Their Rock 3rd edition is also very good.
Voice Student: EMBLY
One word--AMAZING!
I met with Vera several times for online voice lessons and she is in one word--AMAZING! Even though we have met via Zoom or FaceTime, she has perfect pitch therefore, she hears when I hit the wrong note. I also appreciate her suggestions. For example, writing out the count on challenging rhythms and the additional accidental sharps in a measure. She also suggested not using the sustain pedal during Invention 1 by Bach since it is a Baroque piece where harpsichords were only available. Again, AMAZING! Yun
Excellent Structure & Performance
This applied course is much more involved than a similar one I took at another college. The regular discussions help give it the structure of a real class, rather than feeling like I’m just playing independently with no interaction or performance expectations. At first, I mistakenly assumed it would be like the other course, but once I understood the format, I realized how thoughtfully it’s designed. That structure has really set me up for success.
Prof Susan Bruckner, Cabrillo Community College
I think the huge selection of music listening examples is exceptional and far more comprehensive than many I have reviewed.
Student: Eyvonne
OMC for online music courses is a one-stop shop, everything is convenient and within reach. The content provided by the platform Omc was captivating and attainable simultaneously. The listening examples were clear.
Piano Student: Joanna
There are many piano teachers but few really know how to teach. Thank you Yoo Ri for being an outstanding teacher by first understanding the student's struggles and then providing valuable techniques effectively. I am so blessed to have you as a mentor as you have helped me with so many different challenging struggles in playing the piano. For that reason, I do plan on continuing to learn. Thank you.
Excellent Double Bass Mentor, Clayton
Jesse is excellent Double Bass mentor. He never gave a complete answer to any question. Instead, he'd give me a little information and then we'd talk about it. By the end of the conversation, my question would be answered along with much more information.
Student: Charis
Personally, I really like OMC more than other websites used for student learning. The way that the program is designed for easy use, and how you can set the test differently compared to Moodle. Plus, everything is easily accessible.
Double Bass Student : Allison
A Great Mentor
I have had a few online double bass sessions with Matt Robinson and he has been very helpful every time. I like his teaching style and I definitely have benefitted from our previous sessions.
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!
Dr. Robin Williams (UNO)
