He has been teaching bamboo flute since he was seventeen and has been a music teacher in Kathmandu for University of Wisconsin's College Year in Nepal program, and Naropa Institute's Nepal program since 1995. In Nepal, Manose is the well-recognized recipient of national awards, and appears regularly on Nepali T.V. and radio. In 1996, he performed at the annual Asian Festival in Basel Switzerland, the Nepali Embassy in Bon Germany, and in 1997, he appeared with blue grass musician Peter Rowan at California's Strawberry Festival.
