Glade elever = glad mig. Professional teacher and conductor with international career teaches Conducting, Orchestration & Music Theory.

Working with Ondrej has been one of the most transformative experiences in my conducting journey. His guidance has significantly increased my confidence on the podium, helping me feel more grounded, expressive, and in control during rehearsals and performances.

Ondrej’s teaching style is incredibly patient and thoughtful. He takes the time to ensure I fully understand each concept, allowing me to absorb as much as possible from every session. What I appreciate most is his flexibility—he’s always willing to adapt lessons around my busy schedule, even when months go by between sessions. That kind of understanding is rare and deeply appreciated.

Each lesson is tailored to my current needs, whether I’m preparing for a specific project or refining a particular technique. Ondrej encourages me to guide the focus of our sessions, which makes the learning process feel personal, relevant, and empowering. His deep knowledge of conducting theory—rooted in his training as an RCM conducting master's graduate—is evident in every discussion, and his insights have helped me grow both technically and artistically.

I truly cannot recommend Ondrej highly enough. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine advanced skills, his experience, generosity, and intuitive teaching will elevate your conducting to the next level.

I am an experienced amateur trumpet player and I have been studying with Ondřej in in-person as well as online lessons for over five years now. During this time, Ondřej has tremendously helped me to improve various aspects of my playing, such as breathing, repertoire, intonation, ear training, etc. In lessons, he creates a productive, friendly, and encouraging atmosphere and always finds the right explanation or exercises to help me with a certain technique or a difficult passage in a piece. I very much enjoy having lessons with Ondřej, he is an excellent teacher, and I would highly recommend him to other students.

Ondřej has been a fantastic teacher for my 9-year-old son for the past few years. He is very patient, passionate about teaching, and always positive and encouraging. My son enjoys having lessons with Ondřej and has grown to love music himself. I highly recommend Ondřej.

Excellent tutor. Hugely knowledgeable and willing to put in serious time to help the student.

Ondrej is a great conducting teacher. He is knowledgeable and passionate, and taught me a ton about the professional conducting world. I cannot recommend Ondrej enough!
