Hello!
Me on the descent after summiting Mt. Princeton (8/24/24)
About
My name is Cody Weston Cheadle. I am a composer, native to Littleton, Colorado, who holds an array of musical expertise and education. I compose for all mediums, holding a keen love for wind band. I perform on the clarinet and the Great Highland Bagpipe and have a background in classical piano performance. Additionally, I am a trained conductor with comprehensive leadership and drum major experience.
My Music
I graduated in May of 2024 from the University of Delaware with a Master’s of Music, composition concentration. Before that, I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor’s of Music, composition concentration, along with a Music Technology Certificate.
My love for music is equal to my love for outdoor adventure. Being born and raised in Colorado, I am an avid outdoors-man who loves mountaineering, climbing, hiking, fishing, hunting, and all the infinite activities in between, and I take pride in my state’s Western history and nature. I would have started this paragraph with, “Outside of music, I like to…” however, so much of my music takes inspiration from the human intersection with nature. When engaging in these activities, my mind often fires up with ideas and inspiration for compositions. Whether I’m on a 14,000-foot peak, ascending a couloir, witnessing a forest fire, or simply hiking a trail, the music starts to flow and I suddenly need pencil and paper. Although not all of my music is “programmatic”, most of my compositions stem from this intersection.
