Student: Abria
As a student, I have had the opportunity to utilize various online platforms for accessing music course materials. However, my experience using the OMC site has been nothing short of exceptional. From its user-friendly interface to its comprehensive range of resources, the OMC site has truly revolutionized my learning experience. The OMC site's comprehensive range of resources has allowed me to explore different learning methods and tailor my study approach to suit my individual needs and it was very easy to navigate. I really enjoyed using this platform this semester!
Student: Manleah
Using the OMC site for the music course was very interesting to say the least. I feel as though with regular textbooks we tend to get lost, and with this site it made me feel more engaged in what I was reading by providing examples and allowing me to find all the information I need with just the press of a button. The quiz set up I would say was overall okay, however having to press the “check” button after every answer became frustrating at times. Overall the listening aspect while reading would be my favorite with the site as well as being able to access my notes in one place.
Prof Carmella Hedrick, Stanley Community College
Connect For Education courses are wonderful. I have online music classes and sometimes hybrid classes and the courses work for both. I can use it for both formats. The fact that they're so interactive... I just think the format is so adaptable and the technicians are so wonderful to work with to change it and modify it to meet whatever I ask. So it's just a great, great format.
Prof Timothy Hendrickson, Delta College
Connect 4 Education has been instrumental to my music students success, and a continuous resource for my personal teaching effectiveness!

Outstanding is the Incredible Team & Courses at C4E. It has been an honor, a joy, as well as a blessing to teach from your courses because they are beautifully articulated with amazing visuals of expertise and knowledge from your staff and authors. I have had the pleasure of teaching your online World Music, Music Appreciation, Fundamentals of Music, and History of Rock and Roll.
Prof. Oscar Dames, University of Bahamas
I have had the opportunity to teach Music Fundamentals 4th Edition course this past Summer semester via the OMC platform and it was perfect for me as my class was both online and Face to Face. At first, I was hesitant to teach a music class on such a platform as so many factors came into play. This platform is user friendly and is what I would call a “One Stop Shop, Everything Rolled into One”.
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.
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: Pheromone, Student in Music Theory III
The OMC (OnMusic Companion) website has been a great tool during this semester. It is easy to navigate with topics and subtopics listed. The music lectures were pretty straightforward, and it is helpful that written and auditory examples are given to appease various types of learners. I really liked the fact that the homework assignments gave a review of what you did after you're done so you would know what needs work and what doesn't.
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.
