After he changed schools, Bergeman asked his parents to enroll him in private lessons at the Jupiter Academy of Music in Jupiter, FL. This is where he took lessons for 11 years with Ms. Laura Mozena, only leaving to pursue his dream of becoming a music teacher.

Zachary Bergeman attended public school in a county where orchestras were not prevalent in the average music building. However, that did not stop him from performing throughout secondary school. In 6th grade, Zachary joined as a percussionist in the Independence Middle School Concert Band. In 8th grade he achieved the title of percussion captain in the band leadership team. In high school, while continuing his studies at the Jupiter Academy of Music, Bergeman participated in marching band, concert band, and jazz band. In 10th grade Zachary secured the position of percussion captain in the high school leadership team. He played the quintuplets in the marching band, various percussion instruments in the concert band, and he played an interesting role of a bass guitar on an electric keyboard for the jazz band.
