Ory is a fantastic educator for the flute. He imparts very useful, tailored and distilled, information in an articulate, concise and methodical manner. The structured exercises and clear instructions pertaining to topics such as tone production/focus, dynamics, reduction of tension, (to give some examples), conferred a new found appreciation and awareness on isolating and developing the muscles responsible. Par consequence, this affords the player the tools to truly control the flute and not the other way around!

  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! 😊

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

  Orys warming up routine were three days with many ideas and exercises, which sensibilised myself to a lot of complexe details for a stable ton. Ory is a very attentive teacher, clearly guiding through the well selected exercises. I appreciated that he put special exercises to my individual wishes on the third day. Many thanks for the experiences of these days; all the best for 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!

  Our son had an excellent experience with Ory in Vienna this past summer. His masterclass was invaluable in so many ways; refining technique and inspiring his practice. We also had an incredible vacation in the ever beautiful Vienna, visiting sites in the afternoon and enjoying all the cultural offerings in the evenings. Thank you Ory!

  I did a 5 days course with Ory, and it was really nice to work on technical aspects with him. The fact that the classes were so long and so many days in a row helped me to really integrate what he asked as natural way of playing. The fact that I was able to internalise his recommendations and how it made me feel physically helped me to go quickly back in shape (like 30 min) after having several days only playing piccolo, and this was always an issue before. I would definitely recommend his masterclass, doing it as many days as possible!

  This week, me and my friend Eva experienced our first flute masterclass. The masterclass included 4 days of intensive flute playing, exploring new techniques and sound exercises and even delicious coffee and cake in the breaks. I think the classes helped me a lot with my playing and I would totally recommend it to other participants. It was also set in one of the most beautiful cities in the Europe- Vienna. Ory, thank you so much for those wonderful 4 days filled with music, joy and inspiration! 😊

  I highly recommend Ory's three day one-on-one hourly master classes. Throughout each session, he was able to quickly analyze, diagnose and make suggestions for improvement using fresh ideas and analogies. It was a wonderful opportunity to step away from repertoire for a bit and focus solely on tone production. I will definitely sign up again in the future for a refresher session!
