His teachers during this time were Florian Bramböck, Karl-Heinz Miklin, Heinrich von Kalnein and Klaus Dickbauer. 2005 he has got the bachelor of arts.

He also got lessons from Dick Oatts, George Garzone, Donny McCaslin, Branford Marsalis, David Binney, Tony Malaby, Marcus Strickland, Jason Lindner and more. He performed with the musicians Adam Holzman (keyboard, Miles Davis Band ), Joseph Bowie, David Murray as well as the Concert Jazz Orchestra Vienna. He was sent in 2005 as a representative of the University of Graz to the I.A.S.J. meeting directed by David Liebman. This influenced him to work more intensely on composition.

Hello My dear friend, I love your arrangement for Chocolate cake, really fresh, sounds great and amplify the tune and melody. Jakob is just done with the mixing of the Wien suite and Lauren is working on the cover. It should be all done for the end of summer. We are pretty busy with the 2 monsters, miss you and hope to see you soon.
Hi Christoph! I rehearsed with Nicolas yesterday and he showed me the DVD of the concerts you did, good job man, sounds great! Hope we get to play again sometime! Take care and best of luck in all your projects!
Hallo Christoph, schöner, feiner Jazz! Als alten Stahltrommler gefällt mir die Kombination Sax/Hang natürlich besonders... Vielen Dank für's Anfreunden Robert
