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.
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.
Student: Nyah
I liked the OMC platform; it was very easy to use. The feature that allows you to track your progress is great, and each music lesson had a lot of audio examples that I enjoyed listening to. The content was not boring, in fact it was rather interesting. Sometimes the quizzes would shake on the screen, but overall, the experience was exciting and enjoyable. However, I would've liked if you can track how many questions you've completed without clicking the tab, like if it was already on the screen without bothering the quiz content.
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.
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.
Dr. Edward Bethel
C4E is the first complete (music course and platform) package that we've come across. And not only does it provide the music content and the tools, the content that is provided is really top quality. So it's first of all a quality publication and second of all quality tools all wrapped up into one delivery package,
Prof Atla DeChamplain, The University of Rhode Island
This is my first time teaching an asynchronous music class and C4E has been great! The course materials are great, and the tech support has gone above and beyond to help me do this well.
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.
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!
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
