In his early twenties he made two concert tours through the Dutch East Indies, present-day Indonesia. From 1922 he taught piano at the Conservatoire of the Society Amsterdam 'Muzieklyceum' (one of the predecessors of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam). In 1932 he was appointed as conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Arnhem. In 1949 he returned to his school in Amsterdam, now teaching piano and conducting.
