After finishing primary school, he was allowed to go to the military in 1911, where he remained until 1919. Due to his interest in music, he was assigned to military music. After graduating from the military in 1919, he began to study in the Prague Conservatory where he studied in Professor J. Bastar's violin class until 1926. Already during his studies he began to teach the violin and for 20 years he taught a number of violinists.
