Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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.
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
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 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: Shanay
The OMC site was an easy to use and the music e-book for our class assignment was a game-changer. The user friendly site made it a breeze to navigate through chapters. This e-book significantly enhanced my learning experience, allowing me to listen to the book when I no longer had the energy to read which I prefer over a traditional text book. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience using this platform and enjoyed the material I learned through this platform.
Prof Carmella Hedrick, Stanley Community College
Connect For Education courses are wonderful. I have online music classes and sometimes hybrid classes and the courses work for both. I can use it for both formats. The fact that they're so interactive... I just think the format is so adaptable and the technicians are so wonderful to work with to change it and modify it to meet whatever I ask. So it's just a great, great format.
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.
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!
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,
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.
Student: Jordan
The OMC platform was a pretty easy and accessible site to utilize and I think it served its function well. I honestly prefer using online music texts compared to physical, so the navigation, audio and visual examples provided made the platform more engaging to me. Compared to other similar platforms I used, I think the quiz feature is a pretty good plus compared to others, as it made it easier to compare content with quizzes taken. Along with this, having the text divided up into the weeks they fall under were also a great plus!
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!!!!
