I have your “Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony” CD and you've really managed to outdo yourself. Even the artwork catches the eye 🙂 It plays like this amazing broadway cast album, but on the level of West Side Story, in terms of scope of orchestration. I absolutely adore it.
Austin Wintory Grammy-nominated orchestral composer -
A friend of mine went to your concert with Andy Z. last year and said it was great.
Jennifer Schmid Northern CA Noizemaker -
WOW… just wow. I did not see this coming! Thankfully, because it surprised me in the most amazing way... what a monumental production!! It's hard to find one aspect in which “Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony” doesn't shine equally bright. The concept, the writing, the performance... children who can sing and act. People will find an album like this too complex for children, perhaps because they will analyze it from their adult capacities and limitations, whereas children will just listen with an open heart and mind. Not me: I really love that there are still artists like yourself, thinking and creating *music*, GREAT music, with every emotional shade and nuance, that are willing to take on a massive, orchestral, conceptual, double album, that can provide kids with a story they can follow and situations and characters for them to imagine, in contrast to the lullabies and sing-alongs. My sincerest congratulations…

I just want you to know that I love singing the banana song in the car with my kids. It’s fun and silly and makes us laugh as a family.

I fully endorse the musical talents -- and vocal participation at the level of your comfort -- of Doctor Noize. Silly. Loud. Educational. And at a venue that also supports a kid's (and adult kid's) need to be LOUD. This week, Doctor Noize is the Princess' Pick. I have first hand experience as an "adult" with his concerts and let me tell you, you are going to have a blast. A big. Silly. Awesome. Blast. 4 out of 5 doctors recommend it. Okay, 4 out of 5 doctors ARE Dr. Noize, but trust me. Have a nice loud family outing this weekend!

Your interaction on stage with the young girl who wanted to play sax rather then the keyboard spoke volumes, that was a great interaction, a great moment.
Lisa Shara Northern CA Noizemaker -
This project was one of my favorite things I've done in the business of singing. Thanks for letting me be a part of the band! I popped the CD on and the girls were captivated. We are going to enjoy it for many years to come! Thanks!!!

Last week my small elementary school in San Bruno, California had the rich experience of a Dr. Noize assembly. From the onset of the program to its conclusion the students were engaged, delighted, and involved. Cory displays a high level of spirit, energy, and gregariousness that is highly infectious. It is one week later and the students continue to ask when Dr. Noize will return.

I went up to the front counter of a small children's store in downtown Los Altos, aking if I could post your flyer in the front window. The owner was fairly negative in her initial response. But a mother with a 5 or 6 year old boy saw the poster and could not stop saying what a wonderful teaching entertainer you are. When her boy heard the name Dr Noize, he stood up and told his mother he just had to go to the show. It was amazing how fast the store owner's attitude changed. She grabbed the flyer from me and immediately taped it to the window. I should have asked that mother and son to follow me around to all the stores. You're developing quite a following!!!

The book's great. Great illustrations... great rhymes. I especially like the ending. Kudos. P.S. Our youngest is officially a Noizemaker. He loves the book! P.P.S. I think you DO have the best children's music newsletter and maybe one of the best newsletters period. Can I get you to write my memoirs?

My favorite children's musician! Can't stop singing it myself! My extremely active 4 year old has spent the last couple weeks sitting (ok, many times dancing) in his room listening to this album. Now I can't stop singing the songs. They are so catchy & enjoyable. I find myself taking it in the car for my son, but also so I can hear the story myself. I can't believe how attentive my very inattentive son can be when listening to this CD. Thrilled we found this & have been recommending it to all our friends...
Lynn Hyland Noizemaker -
We are SUCH fans of Phineas McBoof. If you haven't heard the incredibly immersive story — The Ballad of Phineas McBoof and Phineas McBoof Returns — you must listen. It's truly a musical brought to life. Your kids' imagination will do the rest.

What's up Doc? I am not sure whether to thank you or curse you my daughter loves the Phineas McBoof CD but I can not get Banana and My Parents Think They're Very Important out of my head!!! All day and all night it's all I hear “ driving me crazy) It's like you were spying on us when you wrote My Parents. Seriously though, great CD. Lots of fun for her and us. I love the story line and I can't wait for the book and hopefully a DVD / cartoon...
Chris Welborn Northern CA Noizemaker -
Upon listening to "Punctuate This!", my first impression was that the music was approachable, while remaining true to the styles you visit, adding the fun interstitials, and having a solid, educational concept to encompass it all. The designs reminded me of characters in the movie "Inside Out" a little bit (which is a compliment!), and that could give way to a lot of interaction with the kids when this music is performed live... not to mention a short animated series! (hint! hint!). I bet teachers will be using them in the classroom quite a bit, if you can get this material to them in some way. Overall, I like that this is conceived as an integral product with many sides to it... and what I mentioned about a TV series could also take the shape of an interactive musical of some sort... but maybe I'm just listing things you've already thought of :). Anyway... congrats on another fantastic release; so different musically, yet as strong conceptually as your last one!
Emilio Miller Composer & Educator -
It's been a while since we've heard from Dr. Noize, the mad genius behind The Ballad of Phineas McBoof - the album and the book. He's back now making a splash with... Grammaropolis, a mashup off Schoolhouse Rock and Roger Hargreaves' Little Miss/Mr. Men books. Having spent some time exploring the impressive Grammaropolis website, I predict Dr. Noize is ready for the big time (and by that, I mean TV and mass merchandising)... You're going to want to get ahead of the curve on this one, that way you can say you loved Grammaropolis way before it landed on Nick Jr. and on your kid's backpack and lunchbox. You've been enjoying (and requesting it) on XM Radio's Kids Place Live, now buy the mp3 single of Grammaropolisâ here.

A superb composer, lyricist, producer, engineer, singer, musician, entrepreneur and I can only imagine what else you're capable of. I've just listened to "Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony" again--what a brilliant masterpiece!!! Great songs, masterly arrangements, awesome production, and on top of it it's witty, intelligent, multi-genre and educational AND still so much fun for kids! Can't believe what you pulled off here, kudos to you!
Martin Tichy Orchestral Composer Extraordinaire @ cinematicviolin.com -
Grammaropolis is a clever and enjoyable way of learning grammar. Hard to believe, but it actually can make it fun for both students and parents of students studying grammar! I learned some things starting with the very first song, even though it is targeted to grades 2 - 8; my guess is that anyone much younger AND much older than that could absorb and learn from this. Grammar is such a tough thing to learn / teach, and especially remember, that Grammaropolis in general (website, stories, etc.) and the songs in particular (on this CD) seem like great tools for parents, teachers, and students.
Patrick A. Thielke Amazon.com Review -
Starting another day right with our morning ritual of our favorite Doctor Noize CD! If you have kids, I HIGHLY recommend it - my daughter, as well as my wife and I, are pretty much obsessed with Cory Cullinan's masterpiece, "The Return of Phineas McBoof."
Ben Evans KY Noizemaker & YERT Director Voice of Bottomus The Hip Popotamus & Lenny Long Tail -
I've held out hope that someone could really blow me away. Will consider this mission accomplished. What clever and great lyrics, and so ridiculously full of energy. It's also very musical. It's not just slavishly pursuing some 'goal,' like communicating grammar ... it's real music. Seriously I am floored, it's awesome. This is what children's music should be. Absolutely top notch.
Austin Wintory Grammy-nominated orchestral composer -
Learning grammar has never been so much fun! And because poor grammar makes the Mayor cry, Doctor Noize (Cory Cullinan) and the Mayor (Coert Voorhees) have put together these songs to teach students the finer points of grammar usage. Each part of speech has its own introduction. Mr. Mayor and Dr. Noize have a lively debate about slang, followed by the song, "Let's Get Groovy, Baby."
Beverly Wrigglesworth School Library Journal (read the full review) -
Just wanted to share with you that the "Banana" song has morphed into the "Pajama" song in our home, which we sing as we are getting ready for bed. I can't imagine we are the first to discover how perfectly that works, but I wanted to give you a "shout out" to thank you for providing the go-to soundtrack for rallying my stepkids, 6.5yo Lily and almost 3yo Levi, to get their pajamas on and move into storybook mode.
Mary-Shannon Northern CA Noizemaker -
An amazing project - I remember Cory Cullinan well from back when he was a high school student here in the SF Bay Area, one of those kids you loved to hate because he got an unfair huge slice of the talent pie, but you couldn't hate him because he's such a great guy. I knew he'd do amazing things when I first met him as a kid, but this... wow. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do so!

Shelby Sheehan NV Noizemaker & KRNV NBC News 4 Anchor -
Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony can be called a screwball musical comedy. It has a fast, zany repartee. The leading characters have over-the-top dramatic ranges combined with vocal chops. The performers open one’s ears to what real singing with resonance and amazing projection is all about. This piece seems like it is the offspring of Monty Python given how crazy it is! Kids and adults alike find themselves engaged in a dramatic, mysterious, high-stakes tale of love, friendship, commitment, and self-improvement. Most of all, Phineas McBoof learns that the real purpose of striving for great art is to share moments, dreams, and emotions with friends.

Coert Voorhees Acclaimed Author & Mayor of Grammaropolis -
Cullinan released his first book in January. Its plot mirrors the adventures of Phineas McBoof, which are chronicled on his debut album. The illustrations will be familiar to anyone who visits the Dr. Noize website or has flipped through the liner notes of the The Ballad of Phineas McBoof CD. As a new author, Cullinan has taken a unique approach to promotion. He plays an acoustic mini-show (as he did yesterday) at his “readings” and then engages the audience in a rewriting of its ending.

At dinner they all go around and say what their favorite part of the day was. The girl announced that her favorite part of the day was hanging out together reading your books and giggling about your zany cast of characters. Apparently they insisted on multiple re-reads of the books that night. So, there you go, you touched two more little kidlets. Just beautiful.

Brad Loucks CO Noizemaker -
His two books – “The Ballad of Phineas McBoof” and “The Return of Phineas McBoof” – and CDs are jam-packed with crazy characters, including Phineas, a cheeky monkey. “It’s a story about McBoof – based on Paul McCartney – and his International Band of Misunderstood Geniuses,” said Cullinan from his home in Colorado, as his two daughters, Sidney Grace, 9, and Riley Max, 7, made noise in the background. “What the band has in common is their openness to trying all kinds of music.”

Wish you could have seen the smile on Ethan's face when I surprised him with the Phineas book tonight. It was like Bono walked in the room or something. We read it before bed and he was in a trance. Congrats on such a great book - mad props to both you and Christian. I wanted to say that now before I feel differently after the 199th reading.
Cory Fossum May 2008 Co-Noizemaker Of The Month -
Cory's work reminds me of Mr. Rogers. Recently, I reread "The World According to Mr. Rogers" and the book mentions the best thing you can do is help/teach children. Perhaps it has occurred to Cory to have a TV show for children. The world would benefit from it.

For the kindie rocker who wants more than just the music, Doctor Noize (aka Cory Cullinan) has created a transmedia property around ‘Phineas McBoof.’ The colorful character creations of his music are brought to life on the page, kicking off a new kid’s property to watch out for.
nuggetisland.com "surrounded by kid culture" -
The energetic former Pinewood School music teacher received quite a bit of buzz for his recording and book, “The Ballad of Phineas McBoof.” The story tells of a monkey singer who becomes so popular his admirers scream over his performances – a parallel to the Beatles’ heyday. Disillusioned, he travels to another land, where he meets up with new musicians and friends. As Phineas meets each new musician, another instrument is added to the mix, showing children how musical sounds come together.

I wanted to share a very sweet story with you about the impact your music/books had on my friend's daughters. Our dear friends have 2 beautiful daughters. They are 5 and 3. Well, when I brought your stuff over to them, the five-year-old had so much fun opening the gifts and looking through the books (the other was napping) -- she got to giggling so much, particularly because she loves animals and the pictures are so cool. Anyway, my friend texted me later that night to recount this sweet story. I guess at dinner they all go around and say what their favorite part of the day was. The girl announced that her favorite part of the day was hanging out together reading your books and giggling about your zany cast of characters. Apparently they insisted on multiple re-reads of the books that night. So, there you go, you touched two more little kidlets. Just beautiful.

Five stars. Hard to put down, and still humming the tune. This is a really fun game for kids of all ages. Lots of fun to pick up and play but hard to master, so it keeps you coming back. The music is awesome and the game itself is visually appealing to look at. Highly recommend. You'll love it.

Yesterday, or the day before, my son and I were talking about manners. I can't remember what led into it, but we were discussing how it was not polite to laugh at someone. Arjun then countered with "yes, but you can laugh at someone if they are doing funny things. Like Dr. Noize does funny things. You can laugh at him!" I don't even know where that came from... but I assured him that yes, it was OK to laugh at you... 😉 Keep laughing and inspiring others to do so...

Yes, it's Jane Jacobs meets "Weird Al" Yankovic meets the inevitable Schoolhouse Rock reference. Except that, I think it's safe to say, none of those made Flock of Seagulls reference. OK, maybe Al.

5 Stars -- Just Wow. I hired Dr Noize for a very specialized and personal event for specific young family members who live 2000 miles from us. I hired him purely based on the integrity he showed through his email communications. While he was still performing his surprise act at my sister's home, my phone started blowing up with messages, pictures and videos of the absolutely amazing time everyone was having. Later on I got the thankful voice mails filled with so much happiness and literally tears of joy. Thank you so much Dr. Noize for bringing such joy to a little girl and her family who really need it right now!

It was truly wonderful! What a wonderful learning experience for the children in our part of California!

What's cooler than classical music? Ask some little kids and you're likely to hear "broccoli," "cleaning my room" or "seeing the dentist." Cory Cullinan, aka Dr. Noize, and his old college classmate, Kyle Pickett, director of the North State Symphony, are out to see if they can change some of those attitudes. Cullinan will be the special guest at the symphony's annual youth concert. Together, Cullinan and Pickett think they can get the littlest of ears as excited about Beethoven and Stravinsky as they are about any top-40 performer... For Friday's youth concert, Cullinan will introduce Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" - "that's some of the craziest stuff ever"- as well as pieces from Mozart's "Night Music" and even the grandmaster of them all, Beethoven's Fifth.

Doctor Noize makes classical music fun for kids.
Lydia Rueger Colorado Parent Magazine -
Kids walked in not caring about classical music, and walked out thinking that anyone who thinks kids can’t handle classical music is uncool.
Elementary School Teacher CA Symphony Show -
It was great fun to work with you and to be a part of something so worthwhile. It’s possible that our performance was the first orchestra experience for many of those children and, let’s hope, it’s the start of a lifelong love of music.
Jacinda Bouton Conductor, Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra -
That was wonderful! You are such a talented guy and it is a joy to see how kids respond to you and your music!

How dare you get these kids interested in sophisticated classical music! Kids... are NOT SMART ENOUGH for that stuff!

He came last year and did our kids show with conductor Kyle Pickett and the kids loved it here. What he is doing to promote music education and classical music is awesome and well worth supporting. If they come near you I suggest you go. You will love it.

Judge Luckey Managing Artistic Director, Palo Alto Children's Theatre -
If you have been cajoling your kids into liking Beethoven and Mozart, coaxing them into practicing piano and/or violin, but all they want are Pokémon-go or Minecraft, then please take your kids to the Doctor Noize musical "The Ballad of Phineas McBoof." Cory Cullinan, a.k.a. Doctor Noize, is a Stanford-educated music major and a father of two daughters, but his dream has been to share his love for music with the kids. Commissioned by the Palo Alto Children's Theatre, Doctor Noize adapted his Phineas McBoof books and album into a new musical. Don't miss this very special show!
Ling Chen Chinese-language blogger in Silicon Valley -
Thanks for the amazing music, and for helping me improve my voice!

Thank you so much for encouraging our kids! I do hear many great comments from the audience at the end of shows. One of our parents said you should get the shows to the stages in China! Yeah, I am sure the China parents and kids would love to greet Phineas McBoof and his folks! Thank you so much for your great contributions to the children around the globe!
Ling Chen Parent of one of the child stars onstage in "The Ballad of Phineas McBoof" -
Brilliant, Cory. The world is very lucky to have you in it.

You Rock!!! Thank you for creating such a fantastic place for kids (and us kids at heart) to learn about music & have a BLAST at the same time. You, my dear, are pure genius and it makes me quiver to be in your presence :-). Thank you for your books and the Grammaropolis CD. I love them! Much Love!

Lone Tree Nolan (third grade) -
I wanted to let you know that Jeffrey has been offered a music scholarship at California Lutheran University. When we visited we set up a last minute audition with the music director. Jeffrey brought his file of music and sang for him. He, Dr. Wyant, told him on the spot that they’d be offering him a scholarship, and followed up with a very nice letter. What was important to him was Jeffrey’s expression and precision, and that he had sung pieces in several languages. Needless to say, we are very pleased, and owe you our thanks for getting him involved in Pinewood Singers and challenging them with such wonderful pieces.
Brenda Opine Mother of Doctor Noize's former high school student -
You are a great coach… to thousands of young people.
Alison Browne AK Noizemaker -
It’s hard to get more excited about music than Doctor Noize. This is a man on a mission – to help youngsters discover their “song of life” and have the courage to share it.
Eren Göknar Los Altos Town Crier (read the full article) -
Last week my small elementary school in San Bruno, California had the rich experience of a Dr. Noize assembly. From the onset of the program to its conclusion the students were engaged, delighted, and involved. Cory displays a high level of spirit, energy, and gregariousness that is highly infectious. It is one week later and the students continue to ask when Dr. Noize will return.
Skip Johnson Principal, El Crystal Elementary School (read the complete letter) -
Those of you out there with young children/ grandchildren should really check out doctornoize.wpstagecoach.com -- learning made fun!!
Melina Barnes British Columbia Noizemaker -
Oh Musical Impresario, Dr. Noize... You are amazing. Yours in all things fun...
Dr. PJ Ford Slack Principal, Sitka High School Sitka, AK -
Dr. Noize generated fantastic enthusiasm for music and I can say that every student walked away not only amused, but genuinely interested in learning more about music. You, and your orchestra showed that music (even "stuffy old classical" music) can be fun. You educated the audience of wiggly children about music in a fun and interactive way. I hope that this is the beginning of an educational relationship between your orchestra and the schools that will build on some of the programs that are already in place. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity to share high quality music with our children!!!
Nancy Peel Teacher, Glacier Valley Elementary School As quoted in the Juneau Empire Juneau, AK -
Thank you for coming to our class to teach about music.
Previn Student, Eagle Ridge Elementary School -
Your passion has always been an inspiration in my life and I always get teary-eyed when I talk about my high school experience with Pinewood Singers and how amazing you were as a role model. You started something new at Pinewood, touched so many lives, and broke some records with them and that is something I constantly try to do now that you have shown me that it is possible.
Nana Kanzaveli Doctor Noize's former high school student -
YOU are YOUR STORY. YOU are where you are because of how you dealt with YOUR story. People are naturally going to get on board/support you because WE WANT YOUR SPIRIT. You’re a modern day “Rudy.” You’re saying "Hey, I've had enough tragedy in my life to really bring me down, but it's uplifted me.” You’re someone that people want to be! Love your spirit buddy.
Ed Gutentag Video Director & Film Producer -
Thank you for helping our class with making our own song. You are good at making songs. You make the best song ever! I love our class song. Our class song is awesome! And once again, thank you!
Zoe Student, Eagle Ridge Elementary School -
loved sidneys birthday song!!!
Chelsea UT Noizemaker (writing about a Song Workshop song) -
We randomly fell in line with Dr. Noize several years back at one of the shows on the Penninsula, and made it to several shows thereafter. You also did a fundraiser for a dear friend of mine's daughter - Kaia Emery. I've enjoyed following your success as you take over the world - ah, move into the digital domain. We're enjoying the new songs, and your unique crazy brand of awesome music ed. Peace.

Thank you to everyone involved for the wonderful Dr. Noize show last week to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. Everyone had such a great time and when it was all said and done, the Food Bank has an additional $715 to feed the hungry in our community. This translated into 2,860 meals, which is a very significant contribution in the fight against hunger.
Jocelyn Lantrip Public Relations Officer, Food Bank of Northern Nevada -
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for giving such a great show. In total we managed to raise HK$13,790 (US $1,768) for "Bring Me A Book" which is fantastic plus the feedback from parents (and children alike) has been wonderful and very positive indeed. In fact, everyone wants to know when you’ll be back to do another show!
Jane Archibald Director, Kids Gallery Hong Kong -
You guys rock! Thank you mucho for donating back to Pinewood and helping us finally get Middle Campus renovated. We love your music!
Michele Isaac Teacher, Pinewood School -
A big thank you to Dr. Noize... He gave a wonderful book reading and music performance for the kids. We had lots of fun dancing and laughing.
Stephanie Leeper Teacher, Eagle Ridge Elementary School -
It has been such a joy working with you. You are an amazing person.
Elizabeth Waldman Frazier Waldmania! Music Publicist & Amazing Person -
What a tremendous opportunity for our students to experience your creativity and musical talents! Plasencia Elementary School and Magnet currently serves about 900 students, many of whom are low income and minority children from the surrounding neighborhoods of Echo Park, Temple/Beaudry, Silverlake, and Koreatown. As with many LAUSD schools, Plasencia Elementary School and Math-Science Magnet have very limited funds for enrichment programs. Thank you, again!
Vickie Mendoza Board Member, Plasencia Elementary School and Math-Science Magnet -
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for giving such a great show last Friday. In total we managed to raise HK$13,790 for bring me a book which is fantastic plus the feedback from parents (and children alike) has been wonderful and very positive indeed. In fact, everyone wants to know when you’ll be back to do another show!
Jane Archibald Director, Corporate Development Division -
I've had really positive feedback from people who attended. Some are still emotional about the "Kaia" song and Brian's duet with you. Very poignant. And really a great touchstone to remember this community of support that is there for them. Cory, you are an excellent performer. It was a privilege to hear your work 2x over the weekend. Here's what a mom wrote to me, "Dr. Noize is so good and creative that Cassidy still remembers how he sings. She's been making those funny songs and sounds to me since yesterday." Gotta love it.
Debbie Stauffer Leader of Las Madres & Co-Organizer of the Benefit Concert For Kaia Emery -
The concert on Sunday for Kaia Emery was a huge success. We had more than 250 people come, the kids had a great time, Kaia really seemed to enjoy herself, and the community raised a significant amount of money for her future.
Dan Gilbert Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning & Co-Organizer of the Benefit Concert For Kaia Emery -
Beyond being a professor at CU Denver, Cullinan is a children’s recording artist, composer, and author. He knows other families are spending more time together, so he released all of Doctor Noize’s commercially released albums, videos, and learning curriculums for free online. Now, other families can also spend time at home together and connect over music, like the Cullinans.
Amanda Blackman CU Denver News, during the 2020 pandemic -
Loved the original kickstarter video.
Arun Shenoy Grammy-nominated recording artist -
Hubboy... (tears streaming down my face) the video of Kaia's Song made my day as I was lying here feeling sorry for myself and wishing my sore throat would go away and bug someone else. Then Doctor Noize made his 'wake-up, you dummy, and thank the heavens above that all you have is a goofy cold today' house-call. Thank you, thank you for that. You are such inspiration... truly.
Dida Gazoli Northern CA Noizemaker -
You always make this day a bit more special. 🙂 Best Old McDonald I've ever heard!
Bill Hare Grammy-winning producer -
Children's artist Cory Cullinan (aka Doctor Noize) has pledged to identify one monthly performance from his interactive, educational musical experience for children as a charitable Doctor Noize Giving Back show. The idea evolved from a recent Mothers Day benefit concert Cullinan organized in Palo Alto, Calif., to raise funds for a 3-year-old who lost her mother.

You are an extremely busy person so I feel so blessed that you are willing to do this concert for us. We are confident it will be a great night! We are all so excited! With the money raised, we plan on splitting the proceeds for both Treyton's and Connor's memorial projects. In Treyton's name, we are fundraising to build a baseball field in Whitewater which will be called Treyton's Field of Dreams. Connor's memorial will be a playground in Jefferson. Thanks again for all that you are doing!
Amie Alvarado Organizer, Concert For Treyton's Field Of Dreams & Connor's Playground -
You've done a great job as a musical entrepreneur, creating artistic projects that actually amount to something valuable to the public. And this orchestral project is the best yet.

Thank you so much for being our Featured Speaker at Mardi Gras Night. We raised over $100,000 in one night for Bay Area school music programs! And, my dear, you played a huge role in that success. You now have an army of new fans. You were so inspiring, dynamic, funny, and got folks so jazzed about music. You are the MFM poster child and embody the fact our mission works!

Kids are the most adventurous audience in the world. Their enthusiasm makes us better listeners as parents and teachers.

I truly appreciate everyone who shares their thoughts and experiences about Doctor Noize, and I personally read every post and contact we receive. I couldn't do this without you. PS Everyone quoted here is 100% insane.
Doctor Noize CEO, Creative Director & Performing Artist of Doctor Noize Inc. -
Orchestral music is the most adventurous and colorful music in the world. Kids and newcomers are the most adventurous and colorful audience in the world, because their minds are not yet made up. As young fine arts audiences in the digital age are increasingly elusive, it’s imperative that those of us who want to preserve the art form we love design and perform symphony shows that specifically appeal to new audiences.
Doctor Noize CEO, Creative Director & Performing Artist of Doctor Noize Inc. -
The first thing I completed as Doctor Noize wasn’t a recording or a live concert. It was the story and text of the rhyming odyssey poem whose two Acts became the first two Doctor Noize books and albums. It all starts with the story and characters.

Doctor Noize CEO, Creative Director & Performing Artist of Doctor Noize Inc. -
Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony was intentionally created as a complete work of musical theatre — no shortcuts — with highly sophisticated and challenging music. Kids have the most fun and gain the most pride, satisfaction, and confidence when they’re reaching for things that cause them to stretch and learn. So we’ve made an album that’s funny and fun and dramatic and sad and happy and crazy and colorful, in ways that only authentic orchestral music and musical theatre can be.
Doctor Noize CEO, Creative Director & Performing Artist of Doctor Noize Inc. -
As my own kids have become increasingly involved in musical theatre productions, I've become more fascinated with bringing my works theatrically to the stage. It allows me to connect with my past as a teacher and Music Director for shows like Into The Woods. Musical theatre is a wonderful creative outlet for kids to perform and watch alike, and a delightful medium to write and compose for. It feels like coming home.
