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
Prof Tiffany Barry, Sacramento State
I like the music curriculums and the ability to change and edit them.
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!
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!
Prof Susan Bruckner, Cabrillo Community College
The music course is still the best on the market; very thorough with interesting musical examples and clear explanations for beginning listeners.
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.
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.
Guitar Student: Carol
I appreciated my guitar mentor's style, he had wonderful finesse in his message, really awesome, sensitive to age of student.
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”.
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.
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.
