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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Student: Charnique
During my time in the music course, I was introduced to the OMC platform to learn different musical styles and complete chapter quizzes. Even though I was unfamiliar with the platform, I was able to access the material smoothly as everything was accessible due to its layout. The content provided in each chapter was engaging as it went in depth to provide readers with a proper understanding of the genre in question. The only issue I've stumbled on with the platform pertains to the quizzes. I'm accustomed to answering either correctly or incorrectly after completing all of the results shown when I click on the next question. However, with OMC, one has to check the answer first to see if it is correct or not. Additionally, if you don't check the answer then it will appear to be incomplete. In that regard, it took some time to get used to but overall it is a great platform.
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.
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.
Incredible Amount of Information, Willow Bui
Lu Peng was a great piano teacher who had an incredible amount of information that I wouldn't have ever thought of. I really appreciate how she taught it as well, it made the time pass incredibly quickly as every moment was filled with information and knowledge.
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. Oscar Dames, University of Bahamas
All the music resources, introduction to new topics, examples, instructions, demonstrations were all interactive and the entire course was taught right from the platform in addition to me using the dry erase board for further instructions. Students were able to complete mock quizzes and tests and received immediate feedback before their graded tests. The music course was built to my specification and I was able to hide, add and delete information from the course as the need arises. Technical assistance from the C4E staff was readily available and done in a timely fashion. Using this platform was a rewarding experience for me and I would definitely recommend it to other professors.
