 | | With piano lessons from the age of eight (after the family had moved to a house in Rakvere in the north east of Estonia containing a concert grand), he received his rudimentary musical education at the Rakvere Children's Music School between 1946-1953. |
 | | Finding that the repertoire of piano pieces he was given to play did not tax him fully enough he soon began writing his own short pieces, mainly for piano, although he also composed songs. |
 | | Whilst at Secondary School in Rakvere he was able to hear classical orchestral music from recordings transmitted over the public loudspeaker system in the town square, extending his somewhat limited musical horizons by cycling round and round the square on these occasions. |
