Piano Student: Yun
Love Dina!!! I have been meeting with Dina for online piano lessons and I love her! I really appreciate her teaching style is great. She allows me to play, make mistakes, and offer excellent solutions. I highly recommend her because you will make improvements on day one!
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.
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.
Chaumonde Porterfield-Pyatt, College of the Sequoias, School of Music
Outstanding is the Incredible Team & Courses at C4E. It has been an honor, a joy, as well as a blessing to teach from your courses because they are beautifully articulated with amazing visuals of expertise and knowledge from your staff and authors. I have had the pleasure of teaching your online World Music, Music Appreciation, Fundamentals of Music, and History of Rock and Roll.
Voice Student: Dasha
This voice mentor is very fun, energetic, and is willing to teach you so much even in 30 minutes. She is the most fun and useful mentor I've had. She sings very well herself and is a very creative person. She does not waste a single minute and gives good advice. I 100% recommend this mentor. Don't miss out and book your lessons!
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
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.
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: Manleah
Using the OMC site for the music course was very interesting to say the least. I feel as though with regular textbooks we tend to get lost, and with this site it made me feel more engaged in what I was reading by providing examples and allowing me to find all the information I need with just the press of a button. The quiz set up I would say was overall okay, however having to press the “check” button after every answer became frustrating at times. Overall the listening aspect while reading would be my favorite with the site as well as being able to access my notes in one place.
Student: Sherrina
To the music text book platform was actually really helpful. Especially after completing assignments you get tick off so it felt like you are moving ahead. Also, glad that I could go ahead and knock out a lot of the assignments early on after i was done reading the chapters. However i would have liked if we were able to get little notifications about the due date of the assignments/quizzes just in case or as reminder but overall it was an 8/10.
Guitar Student: Carol
I appreciated my guitar mentor's style, he had wonderful finesse in his message, really awesome, sensitive to age of student.
