He studied piano at the University of Pretoria where he obtained his B Mus and a B Mus (Hons) degrees. During the same period he also studied conducting under prof. Henri Arends. In 1991 he completed his MMus degree at the University of Pretoria. Several bursaries and prizes were awarded to him during that time and he was selected to take part in the Second International Piano Competition at Unisa.

The world-renowned South African composer Stefans Grové dedicated his Sonata for Viola and Piano to this husband and wife duo. They premiered the work in 1994 - a performance that was described by the Pretoria News as one of the musical highlights of that year.
