My purpose in going to Vienna for part of my Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship was to study with world-renowned flutist and educator Ory Schneor: FLUTEinWIEN His methods have been highly influential in my own teaching practice, and it was truly surreal and inspirational to meet and learn from him in a private intensive masterclass. For 5 days, 3 hours each day, we were able to dive deep into tone and warm-up exercises as well as several pieces. I was blown away by how much I was able to improve in such a short time. As the cherry on top (haha) we also enjoyed cheesecake, coffee, and conversation at the end of each day's session. 😋 I highly recommend my flute colleagues check him out, he has a ton of helpful resources!

  I did the warm up course in December and every day now, I play and think about and use the ideas and approaches Ory introduced me to. It was incredible how much we covered in the 3 sessions and I regularly go back to my notes (and his) and think about various aspects. I'm so happy to have found Ory and his approach. I love to develop and improve and in doing that, develop my teaching too. Thank you. I will definitely be back for a follow up but still too much to work on for now! Money well spent. Thank you.

  I learned so much from listening to and watching Ory. I hope to return again.

  Ory's intensive warm-up course was a wonderful experience and a great investment for me. Exercises are thoughtfully structured and guided by Ory with great explanation, enthusiasm and care. After a few days of practicing my sound got richer and more resonant and I can play with much more control. I can use this great ideas also in the class with my students. Thank you, Ory!!!

  I really enjoyed Ory's course! I have learned a lot, the exercises he has been teaching me are very useful and I have seen results very quickly. Also, you can easily integrate them into your routine. Ory has given me new points of view to the repertoire I have played in the lessons and I am leaving the course full of new ideas and inspiration. I highly recommend this course and also to have the opportunity to visit such a beautiful city!

  This was the most effective flute massterclass , Ory is totally a fantastic flutist but the most important is that he is a good teacher... He works every detail, it was totally worth it , as much as I surely am thinking to continue lessons with him and to do massterclasses with him again ... The best experience till now.... ����

  Ory is an amazing teacher and notably very experienced. I had problems concerning especially my embouchure and posture that he was very quick to spot and correct. He helped me make many small adjustments in my playing that made me sound so much better and overcome challenges I had had for many years. I recommend Ory's lessons to any flute player, at any level. Thank you again! 🎵

  I attended online warm-up routine course. It was very useful for me. I learnt to see how my lips are changing when I am playing notes in different octaves. I hadn't realised it before. And I practised air changing. Ory is patient and nice and he knows a lot. 🙂

  I have been following Ory Schneors page since quite a while. I have red his articles on technical subjects, in my opinion they are very good writings, watching his performances that I find very authentic to every style he plays in. And finally the time has come that i could actually book a private Masterclass with him. I took a 4 days long intensive Masterclass which exactly I was looking for, someone who only teach me for 2-3 hours a day. That is what I love. There is so little that you can do in only one hour class or summer course when you have 1 hour class per week, so I really enjoyed this private class. We were working on the lips flexibility. I am in the situation, that when I practice, certain colours and sounds are coming automatically, and even though I am practising flexibility exercises, there were some times when I was not able to reproduce a colour because I didn't find back to that embouchure. So Ory was most helpfully "torturing" 🤣 me with exercises (one particularly a killer) to help me. Its exactly like (as he also called it) going to the gym, working out with our lips and the muscles around it. Working on to be able to control and use them consciously. I really admire his patience, so I say an extra Thank You for that 😊 He is very friendly, great musician, and a wonderful teacher. Makes also a killer cheesecake and coffee 😉 Thank you Ory for this opportunity, I had a great time, keeping up with the exercises and truly appreciate the time I have spent there on your class. If I have the possibility, I will definitely book a class again! 😊
