Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
Music Educators & Students ❤️ C4E!
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.
Dr. Steven Thompson
American River College chose Connect For Education due to its deep understanding of music education and commitment to innovation. The partnership empowered the institution to realize its vision of comprehensive online music education, a feat unmatched by other publishers.
Prof Tiffany Barry, Sacramento State
I like the music curriculums and the ability to change and edit them.
Prof. Oscar Dames, University of Bahamas
All the music resources, introduction to new topics, examples, instructions, demonstrations were all interactive and the entire course was taught right from the platform in addition to me using the dry erase board for further instructions. Students were able to complete mock quizzes and tests and received immediate feedback before their graded tests. The music course was built to my specification and I was able to hide, add and delete information from the course as the need arises. Technical assistance from the C4E staff was readily available and done in a timely fashion. Using this platform was a rewarding experience for me and I would definitely recommend it to other professors.
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.
Prof Joesph Amante, Community College of Rhode Island
I have used Connect 4 Education online music courses for several years now and have stuck with them because of how quickly they address student or instructor questions. Their Rock 3rd edition is also very good.
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.
Dr. Audley Chambers, Oakland University
The Connect for Education music courses are a rich media content-driven text that can be used like a regular textbook or delivered to your target audience in a synchronous or asynchronous fashion. Most, if not all of their texts come with a variety of ancillary materials to help navigate, structure the course as well as engage students.
Prof Christine Gangelhoff
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 Chaumonde Porterfield-Pyatt, College of the Sequoias
Keep doing what you are doing. The music content and service is beyond exceptional and extraordinary! No complaints...only praise for a smooth, working team that is a win-win!!!!
Prof Lance Ford, Carl Albert State College
I've had the chance to use C4E text in my music courses over the last several years. Not only is the content spot on, but the support is fantastic! You can't go wrong with this tool.
Studio Mentor
As a music mentor for C4EStudio, I get to work with students at varying levels and seeing their progress throughout the semester. It was also helpful to have the C4E handling the administrative side of C4E. They were so helpful and supportive. C4E is very professional, responsive and attentive to my technical needs.
Dr. Edward Bethel
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 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”.
Studio Mentor
I loved mentoring on C4EStudio because I was able to interact fully online, and only having to focus on teaching the student.
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 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.
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.
Studio Mentor
As a music mentor for C4EStudio, I had some positive interactions with students where we both were able to learn things. I did very much appreciate C4E's promptness and help as problems arose.
Studio Mentor
Being a music mentor for C4E Studio I get to interact with new students who have a very positive desire to study and are very curious about learning piano. In addition, C4E's online business is easy to register, and the ABRSM information provided is also very complete.
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.
Prof Ulli Brinksmeier, Mount St. Joseph University
C4E is an exceptional company. I use their materials for all my music courses.
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.
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 Susan Bruckner, Cabrillo Community College
I think the huge selection of music listening examples is exceptional and far more comprehensive than many I have reviewed.
