“My private Master class with Ory was a wonderful experience. I have been dreaming about taking a class with him ever since I first saw his advertisements on the flute forum. Ory was easy going and flexible. He was very friendly, personable and encouraging. He was very clear about what I need to work on and why, and I felt like a lot was accomplished in a short time. Our three hours each day seemed to disappear very fast. Next time I will plan for a few more days! Also, getting around on the underground and bus system in Vienna is very easy.”

  The intensive masterclasses with Ory Schneor are such an innovative and effective way to improve your flute playing over a short period of time. I have returned home after five days with a transformed flute tone, new possibilities of expression and flexibility, and a practice regime to take this development even further. Ory's own playing is inspiring, his teaching is clear and knowledgeable, and he is willing to address the fundamentals of good tone, articulation and phrasing in great detail. Ory is also genuinely enjoyable to spend time with, and very hospitable. I now recommend this unique opportunity to anyone and everyone!

  Ory is a truly fantastic flute player, musician and teacher. He is kind, patient and clearly has a wealth of knowledge he is very willing to share. I think it’s always great to seek advice from those you respect and admire and after 3 lessons with Ory, I left Vienna feeling motivated, inspired and confident. Thanks so much Ory!

  La clase magistral que tuve con Ory en Aveiro estuvo genial! Mejoró con ejercicios simples mi forma de solplar, relajé mi embocadura teniendo como resutlado un sonido que nunca había tenido; fuerte, sólido y grande! también mi articulación ahora está mucho más fluida y sobre todo sin tanto esfuerzo. El enfoque que tuvo conmigo en 50 minutos fué muy efectivo. Excelente!!

  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! 😊

  What a great week with Ory. He worked me hard, which is what I wanted. He re-enforced the teachings of my present and past flute teachers, and also contradicted others, which left me needing to decide for myself what was best for me. The beauty of having a week of masterclasses is that there is the continuity and opportunity to have Ory check the work from the previous day. We warmed up, getting air through the flute. Straight away Ory introduced me to ‘the wall’, which helped me find my air speed. We then worked through technique; in my case, air speed, embouchure, tone, tone colour, intervals and more delicate work on dynamics. We finished with repertoire. We worked on the pieces that I am preparing for an exam and we applied the technique that we have had covered in the first half. We also covered some Bach and Mozart for which Ory taught me new technique to make it more musical and appropriate for the period. Ory is very knowledgeable. He is also VERY patient as there was much work to do with me. I took a couple of weeks before I wrote this review to give me a chance to put into practice his teaching. It has taken a couple of weeks to settle, but I am now feeling what produces a better sound. He encouraged me to ‘feel’ the sensation of a good result. Ory is VERY hospitable, offering a beautifully homemade cake and fresh coffee at the end of the session. I shall be returning to Ory in October for further a masterclass as my exam date gets nearer. Thank you Ory.

  I had a fabulous week participating in FluteinWien! Ory transformed my sound from being a rather unfocused tone to a gloriously rich full focused tone in the course of 5 days. His patience and ability to explain minute adjustments within the embouchure and oral cavity were extremely beneficial. Having gone through this experience, I feel a lot more confident on how to approach and maintain a consistent tone throughout my repertoire, excerpts, and etudes.To finish each flute masterclass with a pleasant chat, fresh home-made cheesecake, and cappucino or tea, made for a great reward after a lot of hard work on the flute. Thank you so much for a great week Ory!

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

  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.... ����
