He is mainly an autodidact with respects to music, but studied piano with Ruth van Birkhoff of Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., and Professor Jesus Alvarado, a student of an American pupil of russian composer, Sergei Rachmaninoff. His many interests are not limted to music, but range from the study of Judeo/Christian religion, world and European history, political science, culinary arts and philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche being his mentor.
