Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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: De' Shann
My student experience using OMC was great. The site was well organized and very easy to navigate, and it was also accessible on my mobile smart phone. Thankfully, this allowed me to find specific online music readings and quizzes without getting confused. I was also able to complete given online assignments during periods when I had no access to my laptop.
Voice Student: Phong
Professor Paulson is a great voice teacher. He shows you exactly what you need to know. He is very knowledgeable in what he is teaching. He is very patient and understanding. He not only tells you to do something he also does it. If you want to be a better singer he is the person you should trust. He will show you exactly what to do. From things like opening your mouth a certain way to pronounce the words a certain way. He will give you everything you need to know to be a good singer.
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 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.
Understands Her Students, Lizette
I really appreciate how Yoo Ri really understands her students and the way she teaches is so natural. She has helped me a lot to understand my own colors. she helped developed more on my voice. She is always supportive and encouraging. What i also like about my mentor is her honesty and positivity.
Prof Tiffany Barry, Sacramento State
I like the music curriculums and the ability to change and edit them.
Dr. Edward Bethel
One of the things that we really appreciated with C4E is that it provided one space or one platform to put all of these different things (music content, assessments, assets etc. )together. And that was one of the biggest, that was one of the biggest advantages that we saw with C4E.
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!
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 Chaumonde Porterfield-Pyatt, College of the Sequoias
Keep doing what you are doing. The music content and service is beyond exceptional and extraordinary! No complaints...only praise for a smooth, working team that is a win-win!!!!
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!
