Testimonials

“The big leap course is one of my best investments as a professional piano instructor. I always find Ory's detailed analysis to be extremely helpful pedagogically, and I learned so much from Maria on the business side of things. The course is a must-have for any aspiring teachers.”

— Dr. Benjamine Wong, DMA, Piano Teacher, Texas, US

“With the Big Leap program, I feel more confident teaching my advanced students and making interpretive decisions within different pieces.

I can go to Ory and Maria to ask them any questions relating to issues with students or parents, making repertoire decisions, asking about competitions, or anything that comes to mind. It is invaluable! I highly recommend the Big Leap program!”

— Christine Branaum Brosius, Piano Teacher, California, US

“I’m getting a lot of encouragement from Ory’s classes. With Ory’s 12-month course, I always look forward to the next month of training, for check in, or for whatever that Ory’s going to be teaching and be open up for questions. I really look forward to hearing from other students, too.”

— Molly Brown, Piano Teacher, California, US

Praise from industry leaders…

  • Rachel Fine, CEO, The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

    "Ory Shihor’s sold-out debut performance at The Wallis introduced both traditional piano recital and innovative theatrical elements to our audiences with tremendous success…Shihor operated skillfully as both world-class pianist and compelling storyteller for an enlightening evening of Schubert, allowing audiences to appreciate fully the composer’s major sonatas in their historical context.”

  • Jerome Lowenthal, Piano Faculty, The Juilliard School

    “I first knew Ory Shihor as a brilliant, poetic teenage artist. As a mature artist and teacher, he has the rare gift of communicating that poetic brilliance to his students.”

  • Hershey Felder, Pianist/Performer

    “A GREAT teacher, and a SUPERB musician. Has performed all 32 Beethoven Sonatas in public. Has the highest rate of student entry into the world’s major conservatories. Everyone should study with Ory Shihor.”
