As a respected teacher, he held a prestigious post at Colegio El Salvador, mentoring numerous students, including virtuosos like María Herminia Antola. His compositions, which masterfully blend classical forms with Argentine folk traditions, often featured lyrics by poets such as Eugenio Cárdenas and Ramón Solveyra Césares.
