Jaroslav Zeman studied trombone and euphonium and became musician in the military bands in Prague and Písek. After studies of conducting at the State Conservatory in Prague, he was leader of the Pisek Military Music, the Czech Army Central Band, the Garrison Command Band in Prague as well as the Director of the Military Conservatory in Roudnice nad Labem. Performances with the wind orchestra of the Czech Post and Telecommunication from Kolín made him known in Germany.
