Els seus estudiants van oscil·lar entre els millors fagotistes d'orquestra, incloent i Sol Schoenbach i als músics de jazz, incloent saxofonistes com Stan Getz i . Els seus 24 Estudis diaris per a fagot, escrits a finals dels anys cinquanta, es consideren exercicis de pràctica de primer nivell per al fagot. Als anys 50, Kovar es va traslladar a Encino, Califòrnia, on va continuar ensenyant gairebé fins al moment de la seva mort, el 1970, per complicacions relacionades amb l'emfisema.

His students ranged from top orchestra bassoonists, including Sol Schoenbach and Bernard Garfield to jazz musicians, including saxophonists Stan Getz and Ray Pizzi. His 24 Daily Studies for Bassoon, written in the late 1950s, are considered first-rate practice exercises for the bassoon. In the 1950s, Kovar moved to Encino, California where he continued teaching almost until the time of his death in 1970 from complications related to emphysema. He was survived by his wife Rose Kovar and two daughters, Eleanor Imber, also a professional bassoonist, and Leah Herzberg. (en)
