 her\, and later with Melbourne Halloween. His father\, a doctor\, was a se
 lf-taught violin fanatic who put Ralph on a plane at the age of ten to go 
 to the Yehudi Menuhin School\, where he found himself sharing a room with 
 Messrs. Garfield Jackson and Nigel Kennedy. Having survived this culture s
 hock\, he then went to the Curtis Institute in the USA to study with Ivan 
 Galamian and Jaime Laredo. In 1977 he won the Royal Overseas League Compet
 ition in London\, which launched his career. He returned for several years
  to the Menuhin school to teach and now returns often to the city of his b
 irth to work with musicians of the Symphony Orchestra of India.\n\n\n\n
