Around 1878 he left for Germany to study music under Hans von Bülow at the Königliche Musikschule in Munich, returning shortly after his father's early and unexpected death.
He taught music at Sacré Cœur School, Burke Road, Glen Iris He was a member of a string quartet organised by George Marshall-Hall.
