Very personable, talented conductor and trumpet player. Good keyboard skills. Would highly recommend!

Anyone would be very lucky to study with Ondrej! He is a wonderful person, and I know as a teacher he’d be very dedicated, patient and supportive.

Having known Ondrej in a professional and personal capacity for over 8 years now, I can confidently say that he is a very enthusiastic and qualified musician and teacher. He is committed to getting the best out of the people he works with and creative in the way he goes about doing this. He has a warm and encouraging manner and encourages individuals to work hard to achieve the best they can. He is honest and constructive in the feedback he gives, with a solution focussed mind. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.

I worked with Ondrej, both as an accompanist while he was a student learning trumpet at Edinburgh University and later as a soloist for his orchestra which he conducted.
He has a fabulous manner with the people he works with - very warm, friendly and respectful. He was very good at putting me and the other members of the orchestra at ease and getting us excited about the music we were playing. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure to really understand the music performed. He made sure we achieved the best we were capable of.
He is a very accomplished musician and highly skilled at his instrument. I have no doubt he would make an excellent tutor.

Ondrej has been my trumpet teacher for 6 months. He has helped me develop a lot in that period, and has focussed mostly on developing my technique and tone and improving my posture. He has been happy for me to bring in music which I’ve heard and would like to learn as well as pieces which he has suggested. Most of all, I’d recommend him because he has got to know me as a person and we have a good relationship. (Jason, Age 15)

Having played for the past 12 years, but not picked up the instrument since January, Ondrej has been crucial in rebuilding my confidence and proficiency in the trumpet. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, experience, and approachable nature, he has helped me to re-establish a crucial technical basis for playing. His focus on the fundamentals of the trumpet have been hugely beneficial, and I know will be invaluable, in future, in allowing me to play a wide variety of repertoire. The many new and interesting techniques and exercises Ondrej has provided, some of which I have never come across with other teachers, have made me think differently about the trumpet and how I play. Since starting lessons with Ondrej, I have seen real improvements in my playing on a weekly basis. Most importantly, however, he has helped me enjoy the instrument again.

Ondrej is a fantastic musician and very good teacher! He is a person of great calm and concentration, and he adapts very effectively to each student. He finds the right method for everyone and makes you fall in love with music very quickly!

I am an experienced amateur trumpet player and I have been studying with Ondřej in in-person as well as online lessons for over three 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.
