From 1922 he taught the violin at the Moscow Conservatory, where he became head of the violin department, and in 1931 introduced his unique method on violin teaching. From 1922 to 1932 he was one of the directors of Persimfans, the conductorless symphony orchestra. He wrote and edited many instructional works and transcriptions for the violin, including an edition of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (in collaboration with David Oistrakh) with a commentary on technique (Moscow, 1947) and studies for solo violin, as well as valuable writings on violin technique.
