Bio

Cody Linder has been teaching at White House of Music since February 2022, and teaches a wide variety of musical styles. Ever since he was 10 years old, Cody has been obsessed with music and pursuing many projects and instruments. He cites seeing Peter Shaffer's Amadeus as his initial inspiration to pursue music, and has been doing so ever since. Aside from teaching, he is also an active composer and arranger. He has played in various bands as guitarist, bass guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist. He has extensive experience performing throughout Southeastern Wisconsin as a vocal soloist and recitalist as well as a guest artist with the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra. Currently he is the assistant director of the Badger Chordhawks, a men's chorus based in Janesville. He is also the bassist for The Thomas Pibal Trio. While he has a large background in classical music, he also has pursued other musical avenues. When he graduated college, he joined a metal band where he played bass. He also enjoys experimenting with electronic music and occasionally enjoys modding and building guitars.

Methods Taught:

For Voice - Bel Canto Technique - A classical singing method, which I apply to all basic breathing and vocalization. This method allows the singer to sing as effortless as possible with having good projection and tone, regardless of the musical style. For guitar - Hal Leonard Guitar Method, and any songs of the student's interest. Piano - Usually Alfred or Faber, but open to other piano methods as well
