MUSIC
THIS IS ME
Hi, I’m Grayson Jarvis, a singer-songwriter, composer, and producer based in Detroit, Michigan. I write, record, mix, master, arrange, collaborate, mentor, and teach, but the most important thing I do is create.
Music is important work. That’s what I believe, and that’s why we must invest not only in the creative process, with its ebbs and flows, but also in discipline and strategy. We can’t create if we don’t dream, but if we aren’t creating, what’s the point?
I want to turn your vision into reality. Do you represent a label who’s looking for a composer or producer? Is your orchestra or ensemble looking for fresh, original works to perform? Are you a young musician looking for someone to coach you as a composer or producer? Are you looking for a classically trained piano teacher? Drop me an email. I’d love to chat.
LESSONS
Interested in piano lessons, songwriting, or production?
Whether you’re a parent, student, or artist, I would love to work with you. I’m a classically trained composer who has been writing and recording my own music for over ten years. I actively write today, producing and publishing all my own work. I received my undergraduate at the University of Shenandoah and my masters in Music Composition from the University of Michigan, where I also composed an orchestra piece that was performed by the University Philharmonia Orchestra. Visit my home page to listen to some tunes!
I have several years of experience as a private tutor in music composition, both in-person and remote (over Zoom), and as a piano instructor for kids aged 8 to 18 and up (all in-person). I can teach classical composition and how to write, record, and produce your own songs. Whether you're a highschooler who is curious about songwriting or an artist who wants to take your craft to the next level (or get back in the groove), I'd be happy to connect.
My preferred piano curriculum for beginner and intermediate students is James Bastien Piano Basics, though I’m happy to flex if you have something particular in mind for you or for your child. If you’re in the Detroit area, and have a piano or keyboard, I will come to you! I am also happy to introduce you to current and/or previous parents whose kids I have taught, so that you can hear about their experience and ask any questions.
My rates for composition/songwriting sessions and piano lessons are $45 for 30 mins and $60 for a full hour. If that doesn’t fall within your budget, please reach out. I would love to work out something that works for both of us.
