Virginia Tech can serve more students year-round; of the 1,500 students that took Music Appreciation in the 2010-2011 academic school year, one-third were online and the outcomes have been positive. The university can literally do more for less.

The organization was much better than other online classes I have taken. The readings and assignments were all in one location which was great.
Student Virginia Tech
Students are more comfortable online for homework. It's a much better system.
Dr. Lee Hartman, Adjunct Instructor, Music TheoryUniversity of Central Missouri
It is cheaper than the traditional textbook (Willams Duckworth, A Creative Approach to Music Fundamentals), and easier to customize.
Dr. Lee Hartman, Adjunct Instructor, Music TheoryUniversity of Central Missouri
I have nine different preps each semester and decided not to make it so difficult for myself. There is no reason to do a different prep for the online and face to face Fundamentals classes. I use OnMusic Fundamentals for online and face-to-face classes.

The material is more user friendly than the previous book (Sheehan) I have used for elementary methods. It's the basics of what I need them to get in a semester, especially with the New York Standards.
Professor Joseph Eppink, Associate Professor of Music, Coordinator of Music EducationThe College of St. Rose, Albany, NY
Students seem more responsible for their own learning. I have a better sense that they are reading.
Associate Professor Sue MillerCollege of Southern Idaho
Night and day. I've noticed that students are accountable for the reading, and the questions are not too difficult, but they make them think. With a hardcover text, I was never sure if they were reading. With Connect For Education, they are accountable through the quizzes and I can see that the reading is done.
Professor Joseph Eppink, Associate Professor of Music, Coordinator of Music EducationThe College of St. Rose, Albany, NY
I like all of the content and I love the keyboards. They are visual and students can play on it, hear it, and see it. This is especially helpful in a face-to-face class.
