Among his teachers there were Nathan Laube, David Higgs, and Edoardo Bellotti. In 2016-2017 he studied in the organ studio of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (Paris, France) with organists Olivier Latry and Michel Bouvard. Jeremy received the highest distinction (prix) of très bien each in organ performance, organ improvisation, Gregorian Chant, Gregorian Chant Conducting, and French language.
