Jan Vermeire studied organ with Robert Deleersnyder at the Veurne Music Academy and later with Hubert Schoonbroodt at the French Department of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. He also studied with the Hungarian-Viennese music pedagogue Hedda Szamosi and completed his choir conducting studies with Florian Heyerick at the Royal Conservatory in Ghent.
