About Jeff

JLA Music is a comprehensive music services company that provides music lessons, singing telegrams, live special occasion music, recording, music engraving, music transcription, audio production, and other services. JLA Music has been in business for more than 43 years. Jeff Anvinson, the owner of JLA Music, has broad experience in music as an educator, performer, arranger, composer, conductor, music engraver, music transcriber, writer and music critic, audio and video recording engineer and producer, and more. He has performed live hundreds of times in the U.S., China, and Canada, taught more than 26,000 individual lessons and 160 sections of classes, and provided numerous other services. He studied orchestration with Pulitzer-prize-winning composer Dominic Argento and performed in a master class led by multi-Grammy-Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin. He has taught at universities, public schools, community education programs, commercial music stores, and in private practice. His recordings can be purchased at iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and elsewhere. He creates and releases instructional videos on his website and YouTube. He has created hundreds of arrangements and many compositions for a wide range of instrumental combinations, including chamber orchestra, wind ensemble, duos, trios, solos, and others. After study at three universities, he earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in music. He has published more than twenty articles in several periodicals. He distributes and promotes the guitar compositions of Brazilian composer Ernst Mahle.

Plain and simple, I just love music! Because of this, and a strong personal ethic of treating people well, my enthusiasm is expressed in my work and play. For example, I base music lessons on your goals, with an eye to covering the fundamentals that are important for your unique situation. My business model is not just based on profit, but more imporantly on doing the right thing, which includes great customer service.

When I was an undergraduate music major, I was hired to teach a classical guitar student, which was a virtually unheard of - in other words, university teacher virtually always have advanced degrees, yet I was fortunate to be asked to teach without even earning a degree.

I have studied music at three universities, earning two degrees (master's and bachelor's) and two certificates (management/supervision and classical guitar). My teachers include a Pulitzer prize and Grammy award winner. Over four decades in the music business, I have taken workshops, tutorials, and other educational opportunities too numerous to list.

About the lesson

I get to know the student first! Your musical background, experience, education, previous lessons, goals, likes, favorite artists/songs/compositions, etc., are critical to success, both yours and mine.

Teaching more than 26,000 inidivudual lessons and 160 classes has introduced me to an incredibly wide range of students - from those who were interested in hip hop, to serious classical players, with pretty much everything in between

Check their experience, education, and reviews. Then carry on a simple conversation to get a feel for their personality, to see if it's a good fit for you as a teacher. Find out if they are interested in you personally, your goals and aspirations, and are willing to focus on them.

I am lucky to perform in the summer for Frost Fire Summer Theater, which produces about eighteen performances of a musical. This summer I played guitar in the pit orchestra for "The Marvelous Wonderettes".

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Be prepared to state your goals, music background, composers/groups/artists/genres of interest, what specific instruments you own (or your vocal range), and include a list of devices (PC, Mac, tablet, phone).

My standard fee is $18 per half-hour lesson if you pay as you go, or $17 per half-hour lesson if you pay for a month of weekly half-hour lessons on the first lesson of the month. However, I am mindful of the budgetary restraints that some people face, so I am happy to negotiate a fee that works for your finanticl situation.
