I had the pleasure to work with Ory Schneor for three days which was for me the right amount of time to get some new ideas and explore new aspects of my flute playing. After a master's degree in flute I started to feel a bit stuck in my own routine and was never a hundred percent happy with my sound when playing quiet phrases. Ory was the first teacher in years who instructed and encouraged me to change my embouchure which is probably one of the biggest challenges. After one week with the new routine I feel more comfortable than ever with my sound and notice significant improvements in my high register as well as tonguing. Best investment in myself, thank you Ory!

  It is about a month since I had Ori's warm-up course, and I can say it has definitely "caught" and absorbed very well and fast. Sound gets more round and focused, dynamic range gets wider and easier to control, and other tools and "tricks" that are easy to use thanks to Ori's clear explanations and methods. highly recommended!

  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!

  Ory’s intensive warm-up routine course is just that, “intensive”. He covers all of the basics of tone and technique in unique ways that have resulted in marked improvement in my confidence and my ability to consistently get the sound I’m looking for. Ory’s style of teaching is informal and encouraging. I urge any flutist interested in improving their performance to take this course. As a bonus, his fee is very reasonable.

  I just completed this excellent three day course. Ory Schneor's insightful instructions and comments during the course helped me right away. Through his clear demonstrations and intuitive comments, I felt a real physical change. My embouchure is so much more stable already and I am really looking forward to experimenting more and to working on these exercises with my own university students!

  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.

  Ory is a fantastic teacher, a gifted communicator and wonderful flutist and musician! I recommend his classes!

  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 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!
