“Ory is one of the best teachers I've had in my life.

He is the kind of teacher who wants you to grow as a pianist, and most importantly, as a better person.

I'm from Indonesia and I moved to LA just to study with him.

I am currently studying at the Manhattan School of Music, and this wouldn't be true if it wasn't for Ory.

I can see my growth by looking back at the videos from the very first lesson and the last lesson. I've grown a lot and this is all thanks to Ory and Maria.

I'm grateful I had the chance to meet and know them professionally and personally.
