He moved to Germany and two years later he finished the postgraduate course at the Academy for Tonkunst, Darmstadt with Tilman Hoppstock with the best grade. In 2004 he completed the artistic diploma at the Cologne University of Music in the class of Prof. Hubert Käppel with "very good" and in 2006 he completed his musical education with the concert exam and the instrumental education diploma under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Aussel.
