In Boston, he studied piano under Dr. Louis Kelterborn, studying such molern composers as Franck and Debussy as well as the older classics. Kelterborn recommended him as a disciple to Carl Baermann, to develop greater piano technique, but Downes was more curious about music itself than about be coming to a virtuoso. Downes started as a music critic with the "Boston Post." In 1924 he became music critic of the "New York Times," a position he still holds today. In 1939, Downes was director of music at the New York World's Fair.
