He attended City College of New York briefly before transferring to Juilliard (at that time called Institute of Musical Art) on scholarship for Piano. He earned a degree in Education at Teachers College in New York; a degree which he used briefly (taught for ½ day) at James Monroe High School in New York before deciding he could earn more money as a professional pianist.
