Ory Shihor’s Student Success Stories
“In the short 3 years, Lucas has made tremendous progress as a pianist, with the recent honor of becoming a 2022 YoungArts Award Winner and acceptance to Juilliard!”

“I cannot thank Mr. Shihor enough for the 9 years of guiding me and my music and for making it possible for me to get accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music!”
Ray Ushikubo, Curtis BM in Piano Performance
“If I look back to those 4 years in a bigger scale I can see how much Mr. Shihor has helped me find and develop my technique, my ear and my musical and pianistic personality.”
Albert Cano Smit, Juilliard MM in Piano Performance
“The improvements and achievements I made during these 3 years are way beyond my imagination. Without his teaching and guidance, it’s not possible for me to get accepted into my dream school, Juilliard.”
Jimmy Shen, Juilliard BM in Piano Performance
“Studying with Mr. Shihor has helped me find the sound I want to create, has raised my confidence in my playing, and has shown that I am capable. I am so thankful for Mr. Shihor. This September, I will be attending the Royal Academy of Music with a full scholarship!”
Millicent McFall, Royal Academy of Music (UK) BM in Piano Performance
“Mr. Shihor has never failed to bring out the best in me. His endless support and tremendous details to music helped me understand, feel, and hear music in a whole other level. He helped me get accepted into multiple top music conservatories including NEC and Peabody which I was offered a large scholarship. I wouldn’t be able to go this far without Mr. Shihor!”
