Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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!
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.
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 Marvin Sparks, The Lone Star College
Your music products and services are first class. I have recommended your product since the beginning and has been adopted by my school and we have had no problems. Bravo!
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.
Guitar Student: Carol
I appreciated my guitar mentor's style, he had wonderful finesse in his message, really awesome, sensitive to age of student.
Voice Student: Maryna
I am a voice student taking lessons with Dina. She is a professional in her field. She gives bits of advice that instantly help correct mistakes in singing. Also, she is a nice person. I am happy that found such a good mentor.
Prof Brad DeRoche, Delta College
C4E music courses and customer service are both top-notch. If there is better out there, I haven't seen it.
Jazz Voice Student: Christine
Masterclass
I am currently taking jazz voice lessons with Dr. LaPierre, and I also had the privilege of studying with him at ARC before his retirement. He has lifetimes of knowledge and experience-- he focuses not only on vocal skills but musicianship as a whole. Lessons with him are a great balance between technique, foundations, and style. He has a way of tapping into that potential you might not realize you have. I have already grown as a vocalist more than I thought possible because of him, highly recommend 🙂
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 Christine Gangelhoff, University of Bahamas
I've found the OnMusic Companion platform to be a transformative resource, especially for music students in remote locations who normally couldn't access the resources of our main campus. Its flexibility in course customization, paired with an extensive library of music assets, enabled me to create an engaging World Music course that successfully connected students from multiple islands. The adaptability and resourcefulness of OnMusic Companion have been pivotal in simplifying online course delivery and democratizing music education across our island nation.
