In 1902 he entered the Stern Conservatory in Berlin where he studied with such teachers as Ernst Baeker (harmony), Paul Lutzenko (piano), and Wilhelm Klatte (counterpoint and composition) through 1906.

The expenses of his education in Berlin were paid largely through grants obtained from the German government after winning a series of piano competitions.

[1] In 1906 La Liberté returned to Canada and began teaching at the Canadian Conservatory of Music in Ottawa in the autumn of 1906.

Scriabin convinced La Liberté to return to Berlin, and the composer soon began further studies in that city with Teresa Carreño.

Financial problems related to World War I put an end to his career in America and he once again returned to teaching privately in Montreal.

Among his notable pupils were Hélène Baillargeon, Morris Davis, Gérald Desmarais, Hector Gratton, Djane Lavoie-Herz, Antonio Létourneau, Alfred Mignault, Marie-Thérèse Paquin, and Wilfrid Pelletier.
