Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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.
Guitar Student: Carol
I appreciated my guitar mentor's style, he had wonderful finesse in his message, really awesome, sensitive to age of student.
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 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.

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,
Prof. Joseph Amante y Zapata
When I initiated History of Rock at CCRI, I never imagined it would succeed as it has. (It helped get us through the pandemic.) The service has been amazing to the faculty and students and I want to call out Emily as a fantastic person to work with!
Arturo Vega
This version of applied is definitely more challenging, but I don’t feel like I’m at it alone anymore. Thank you. Respectfully
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.
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.
