Testimonials from Piano Teachers
“I have learned so much and can't wait to incorporate many of Ory’s tips in my own teaching/classes, particularly on how to engage students as well as Technical tools and pedagogical tips/strategies for effective teaching.”
— Dr. Jennifer Cruz, Assistant Professor/Director of Keyboard Studies (California Baptist University), Riverside, California, USA
“I'm really thankful for the support that Ory and Maria have provided me during my first year of Big Leap and am looking forward to my second year. Ory and Maria have been very generous in sharing their knowledge and helping me in my piano teaching and business aspect. I can always count on them for advice regarding any issues and they would always have answers for me. I also love how the materials are easily accessible and always there for me without any expiration date. "”
— Fanny Goh, Piano Teacher, Singapore
“The L1 Intensive course has provided me with tools to construct individualized modules for my students based on the OSI curriculum. This has kept the direction of the lessons focused and organized.
Ory’s IPDS model has brought efficiency and effectiveness to the learning process. I have found it helpful in my own practice for learning as well as retaining.
Maria and Ory make a great team in presenting the materials. Their passion and kindness are evident throughout our time together.”
— Carol Schindler, Piano Teacher; President of MTAC, Sonoma County Branch, California, US
“2023 will be my 2nd year joining the Big Leap Program. I see a big benefit after joining the program in 2022. It widens my repertoire knowledge with very holistic and detailed teaching points. Besides that, Ory is always just one email away to help in solving any of my teaching challenges and share with me new ideas. I feel very grateful that professional help is always there for me from Ory and Maria. I highly recommend The Big Leap Program to anyone who wants to level up their teaching and learning in piano.”
— Chian Chin, Piano Teacher, Singapore
“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 Instructor, Austin, Texas, USA
“I’ve been teaching piano for decades and rarely find a pedagogue at Ory’s level that so generously shares his knowledge with other teachers.”
— Purwati Sundjojo, Piano Instructor, Singapore
“Any teachers will be able to grow and enrich their teaching mastery by joining this course program set in such a close, sharing, warm atmosphere.”
— Michelle Santoso, Piano Teacher, San Marino, California, US
“Through my one-on-one piano lessons with Ory, I have never felt so comfortable, fun, inspired, and improved as a pianist in my life. He knows exactly how to motivate students, and when, what, how much to give for the best improvement.
As a piano teacher myself, I learned a lot from his pedagogy method. I experimented with Ory’s principles from his pedagogy training program into my piano lessons and I could see a big difference in my students’ reactions and attitudes! I am excited to learn much more from the upcoming 12-month OSI Piano Pedagogy Certificate Program!"
— Mai Takeuchi, Piano Teacher, Manhattan Beach, California, US
“Ory teaches many of the things I believe in - his concepts and his theories - and it is very empowering to hear it from a very accomplished teacher. I love to engage with other teachers as well as a master teacher like Ory who has so much success, I find it very worthwhile.”
— Susan High, Piano Teacher, Los Angeles, California, US
“I’m getting a lot of encouragement from Ory’s classes. With Ory’s 12-month courses, 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, Camarillo, California, US
“It’s a very non-competitive environment, I feel very free to ask any questions that I have without judgment or feeling bad for asking because I know everyone is there to support you.”
— Christine Branaum Brosius, Piano Teacher, California, US
