 | | Since becoming the double bass professor at the Alois Kriz Music Conservatory in Kromeriz, Czech Republic, in 1973, he has developed a unique teaching method which helps students become virtuoso masters of the instrument. |
 | | Much of his approach to the instrument is derived from his years as a violinist and his desire to develop a violinistic approach to playing the bass—one that is dextrous, easy ("If it is not comfortable, it is not right."), and brilliant. |
 | | His original compositions combine Czech lyricism and melody with brilliant technical demands and include works for solo bass, bass and piano, bass and orchestra and many bass duets, trios, quartets and quintets to help his students become sensitive chamber music players. |
