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.
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: 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.
Piano Student: Joanna
There are many piano teachers but few really know how to teach. Thank you Yoo Ri for being an outstanding teacher by first understanding the student's struggles and then providing valuable techniques effectively. I am so blessed to have you as a mentor as you have helped me with so many different challenging struggles in playing the piano. For that reason, I do plan on continuing to learn. Thank you.
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.
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.
Dr. Robin Williams (UNO)
C4E service is ALWAYS exceptional... Everyone at C4E is wonderful and I always know you will get right on the problem and find a way to correct it. Thanks for years of getting things right!
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 Atla DeChamplain, The University of Rhode Island
This is my first time teaching an asynchronous music class and C4E has been great! The course materials are great, and the tech support has gone above and beyond to help me do this well.
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 Ulli Brinksmeier, Mount St. Joseph University
C4E is an exceptional company. I use their materials for all my music courses.
