He returned to Sydney in 1914 as organist of the Central Methodist Mission. He also served as choirmaster at OzTorah, the Great Synagogue of Sydney, and was on the faculty at the University of Sydney. He was known for his piano recital-lectures and his compositions, which include a Magnificat, an Australian rhapsody, and light musical theatre.
