His early musical training had been on playing the piano and organ and working as a church chorister in the parish church of St. Paul's, which still stands today.
Его раннее музыкальное обучение заключалось в игре на фортепиано и органе и работе в качестве певчего в приходской церкви Святого Павла, которая сохранилась до сих пор.
