Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
Prof Christine Gangelhoff, University of Bahamas
I've found the OnMusic Companion platform to be a transformative resource, especially for music students in remote locations who normally couldn't access the resources of our main campus. Its flexibility in course customization, paired with an extensive library of music assets, enabled me to create an engaging World Music course that successfully connected students from multiple islands. The adaptability and resourcefulness of OnMusic Companion have been pivotal in simplifying online course delivery and democratizing music education across our island nation.
Prof Susan Bruckner, Cabrillo Community College
I highly recommend C4E music courses. They are extremely well-designed and go into great depth with writing, visual snapshots, audio & video. Support is extremely helpful and quick to respond.
Dr. Steven Thompson, American River College

Prof Timothy Hendrickson, Delta College
Connect 4 Education has been instrumental to my music students success, and a continuous resource for my personal teaching effectiveness!
Prof Carmella Hedrick, Stanley Community College
Connect For Education courses are wonderful. I have online music classes and sometimes hybrid classes and the courses work for both. I can use it for both formats. The fact that they're so interactive... I just think the format is so adaptable and the technicians are so wonderful to work with to change it and modify it to meet whatever I ask. So it's just a great, great format.
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.
Student: Jenia
I had a great time taking the online music lessons in the OMC platform! The content is interesting and easy to understand, making it far more engaging and pleasant than normal textbooks. The quizzes and exams helped to reinforce my understanding of the content. I also enjoyed the many music examples placed throughout the platform. I appreciate how user-friendly the software is, as it has made my educational path in the course both productive and pleasant.
Dr. Edward Bethel
One of the things that we really appreciated with C4E is that it provided one space or one platform to put all of these different things (music content, assessments, assets etc. )together. And that was one of the biggest, that was one of the biggest advantages that we saw with C4E.
Student: Pheromone, Student in Music Theory III
The OMC (OnMusic Companion) website has been a great tool during this semester. It is easy to navigate with topics and subtopics listed. The music lectures were pretty straightforward, and it is helpful that written and auditory examples are given to appease various types of learners. I really liked the fact that the homework assignments gave a review of what you did after you're done so you would know what needs work and what doesn't.
Dr. Thomas Warner
I have had a very positive experience using C4E products and services for my university courses, MUSI 216 and MUSI 220. The eBooks have been valuable resources for enhancing student learning through accessible and engaging content.
