Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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.
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.
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 Brad DeRoche, Delta College
C4E music courses and customer service are both top-notch. If there is better out there, I haven't seen it.
Prof Ravadia Scriven, Professor in University of Bahamas
I was very impressed with the C4E site, it was easy to navigate. Compared to a textbook, the music courses was much more enjoyable through the addition of videos and listening examples., I was highly satisfied with the site and I look forward to using it in the future.
Student: Turqoise, Student in Music theory III
For a first-time user of C4E Compannion, my overall opinion is rather positive. The platform is simple and straightforward to maneuver and the music lessons are engaging. However, my only challenge was when it came to submitting an answer for an assessment, the system was very precise not leaving any room for a margin of error. Overall, the platform is user friendly. --Turqoise
Voice Student: Phong
Professor Paulson is a great voice teacher. He shows you exactly what you need to know. He is very knowledgeable in what he is teaching. He is very patient and understanding. He not only tells you to do something he also does it. If you want to be a better singer he is the person you should trust. He will show you exactly what to do. From things like opening your mouth a certain way to pronounce the words a certain way. He will give you everything you need to know to be a good singer.
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!
Student: Sherrina
To the music text book platform was actually really helpful. Especially after completing assignments you get a check mark so you can see your progress. Also, I'm glad that I could go ahead and knock out a lot of the assignments after i was done reading the chapters instead of having to wait.
