Jeremy studied composition in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, piano in Israel with Mindru Katz, and conducting in Vienna with Hans Swarowsky.
However, Yehudi began paying more attention to his son"s musical career when his talent became clear. Later that year, he played at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad established by his father nine years earlier, and proceeded to wider public attention as a musician in his own right. In 1968, he played with the London Philharmonic again to record an LP for Angel Records along with aunts Hephzibah and Yaltah, all conducted by Yehudi.
He made his American debut in 1970.
The development of his career was interrupted in 1974 by a strained tendon, forcing him to cancel all public performances for a year and a half. During his American tour in 1986, he played at the Miami Beach Theater of the Performing Arts.
Reviewer Tim Smith from the Sun-Sentinel praised his technical skill but found his performance lacking in emotion. Menuhin has played with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Tonhalle among others
