Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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: 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.

Prof Marvin Sparks, The Lone Star College
Your music products and services are first class. I have recommended your product since the beginning and has been adopted by my school and we have had no problems. Bravo!
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”.
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!
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!
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.
Student: Abria
As a student, I have had the opportunity to utilize various online platforms for accessing music course materials. However, my experience using the OMC site has been nothing short of exceptional. From its user-friendly interface to its comprehensive range of resources, the OMC site has truly revolutionized my learning experience. The OMC site's comprehensive range of resources has allowed me to explore different learning methods and tailor my study approach to suit my individual needs and it was very easy to navigate. I really enjoyed using this platform this semester!
Prof Chaumonde Porterfield-Pyatt, College of the Sequoias

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.
