Introducing Myself to Steem--Start As A Musician

I wanted to come on and introduce myself to the steem community and the music category. I'm Cody Weinmann. I started playing and teaching myself piano at the age of two years old on up to age 11. It was during a Christmas concert of Roy Rogers Junior that I saw a keyboard player that really sparked the curiosity to take music to the next level. Over the next seven years, I learned a wide variety of music from the waltzes of Johann Strauss to Hillsong church music. It was also during the years of 11 and 12 when my first piano teacher would put “Write a waltz,” or “Write a country song” to the end of my lesson assignments for the week. I immensely enjoyed this and picking out songs I heard on the TV and radio by ear.
There was a time when I couldn’t continue lessons for lack of money and decided to dedicate myself continually to classical piano transcriptions of famous orchestral works, further deepening my life-long love for music.
In college, I studied immense classical piano—the likes of Bach inventions with various other works by Edvard Greig and more. It was when I got into my second year at Cal State San Bernardino that I fell in love with band and orchestral music. For a pianist, that could seem pretty rare. Nonetheless, I wrote my first work for Band, “Prelude for Band in D Minor” and had it performed in June of 2010. Since then I’ve worked steadily on composing works for piano, band, orchestra and sacred literature while teaching students piano, voice, music theory and composition both online and off.

I also sell my sheet music on SMP Press: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/Cody-Weinmann-CJW-Music/1308
