There he studied composition and orchestration with three prominent Canadian composers, and clarinet performance with the principal clarinetist of the Kingston Symphony. Jeremy's compositional output is highly influenced by classical composers of the late-Romantic and early-20th century symphonic styles such as Gustav Mahler, Dmitri Shostakovich, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, and film score composers such as James Horner, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, and Basil Poledouris. He likes to spend most of his free time composing, playing the clarinet, and listening to as much music as possible, but has been known to indulge in gaming from time to time.
