Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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
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: Jenia
I had a great time taking the online music lessons in the OMC platform! The content is interesting and easy to understand, making it far more engaging and pleasant than normal textbooks. The quizzes and exams helped to reinforce my understanding of the content. I also enjoyed the many music examples placed throughout the platform. I appreciate how user-friendly the software is, as it has made my educational path in the course both productive and pleasant.
Prof Jerquel Rolle-Forbes
As lecturer, I found the platform and music courses very easy to navigate and user friendly...I also liked that the platform included everything and more in terms of material needed to prepare for instruction. From worksheets to scores, to animations and audio examples and so much more. When I needed tech assistance I always got a quick response and quick resolution.
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.
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. 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”.
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.
Student: Tashae
My experience with the OMC site was a good one, I do not have any negative thoughts on it. It was easy to navigate. This site also helped me stay organized and on top of what was coming up and its due date. If I were to compare the site to any traditional textbook, I would rate this site a 10/10 simply because I love the online music texts because I can read about the different topics, see pictures listen to the music that they create, and then answer the 10 questions that are asked. Also, I love how the information is straight to the point and some topics are broken into 2 parts therefore it’s either Quiz 1 or Quiz 2 really appreciate that. The content of each topic was very engaging. It showed images of the musical instruments and some dances they do. I feel like this helped my organization and my grades to be on point because it wasn’t too much information, it was just right. As I end this Music class for the semester, I would encourage teachers to use this site for better time management, organization, grades, visuals and many many more reasons why.
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.
Prof Tiffany Barry, Sacramento State
I like the music curriculums and the ability to change and edit them.
