He studied composition and conducting at the State Conservatory in Bratislava (composition under Andrej Očenáš, conducting under Kornel Schimpl), and later pursued music pedagogy at Comenius University in Bratislava. A significant part of his professional career was dedicated to the education and training of future music educators at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica. Later, he also taught at the conservatory.
In addition to his teaching activities, he was engaged in scholarly and research work, publishing, composing, and conducting.
Vladimír Gajdoš composed symphonic, chamber, vocal, and instrumental works, as well as incidental music for plays broadcast by Czechoslovak Radio. His work is primarily characterized by choral compositions and arrangements of folk and sacred songs. Many of these were created for the Mladosť choir. He was also the author of orchestrations for symphony orchestra.
Since 1965, he worked on processing archival musical manuscripts and co-authored several university-level textbooks, study materials, and various educational aids.
He conducted the Regional Symphony Orchestra, the Studio Orchestra of Czechoslovak Radio in Banská Bystrica, the Combo Chamber Orchestra affiliated with the Department of Music Education at the Faculty of Education in Banská Bystrica, and the Hron choir. He was also a member of the Slovak Music Union (ZSS) and led several church concerts in Banská Bystrica.
