The Old School Website of Composer James Grant, soon to be modernized (the website, not the composer, who's fine as is)...

Want to hear some of my music? 
Here's a Spotify playlist: "James Grant - Compositions"

A selection from various studio recordings available on Spotify (and other streaming services). All music is published and available at Potenza Music Publishers.

I'm ecstatically back in the composition saddle again after a 9-year pause to develop two organic sourdough bread bakeries.

Nine years ago — that's 2017 according to my recently refurbished abacus — I put down the quill (keeping it sharp and nearby) and donned an apron to return to my doppelgänger profession of baking. After completing a 5-year baking gig with wonderful people at Dwight Market (Dwight, ON, Canada), I became Director of the new Organic Sourdough Bread Bakery at the local community food co-op in Huntsville. 
 
Alas, the content on this site has been stagnant for most of that time. Although I was still actively composing and receiving frequent performances; I rarely had the extra gas to keep up with this website, much less with self-promotion on social media. I'm just now beginning to put together a newly-designed and streamlined JamesGrantMusic website. So for now, this is what you get: my old, somewhat out-of-date website. 

4 Reasons Why This Website Exists

1  |  LET'S CONNECT 

When you click Let's Connect on the menu above, you'll go to a page where you can leave your name and email address in the body of an email pre-addressed to me, along with as much or as little musical info as you like—your info will go into my private (and I do mean private) database of musical friends and colleagues, allowing me to connect with you whenever I'm involved in a project aligned with your interests. If we can connect, we can collaborate; and I’m interested in developing a lasting creative partnership with you.

2  |  PERFORMANCE NOTIFICATION 

Have you performed my music in the last year? Whether it was a 3-minute recital piece or a 40-minute concerto, on the Upload A Concert Program page, there's a link to an email pre-addressed to me, to which you can attach a JPEG, PDF or Word file of your recital or concert program(s). That's it—no forms to fill out, no envelopes and stamps.  It’s simple, easy, quick—and your 15 seconds with a few routine mouse-clicks will make a crucial contribution to my income after I send your program into ASCAP, all at no cost to you. (And, I will write you a thank-you note.)

3  |  PRIVATE TEACHING and ZOOM RESIDENCY DEVELOPMENT

I keep a small studio of private composition students—you can read more about it on the Teaching | Residency link and leave me a note if you’re interested in hearing more. If you are teaching in college or university, drop in to read about my residency activities—I’d be happy to brainstorm with you on how a custom-designed and comprehensive zoom residency with me would both serve your school's music program and be a lot of fun for us and your students.

4  |  SEARCH MY MUSIC and RECORDINGS

Information on much of my music is found here, and most of it is available for purchase online through Potenza Music Publishing, my publisher and distributor.  There’s an easy search/browse engine at the Music Search link in the menu above, where you can focus your search by instrument, ensemble, or voice —and level of difficulty. I'm way behind on updating my discography, but you can find performances of much of my music on the streaming services.
