Fan Buzz

Cory, I APPLAUD you big time, if anyone deserves accolades it's you, for your fine work, not blowing steam! Keep it up.

I'm so glad my friend forwarded you on to me!! Great to see you have found your calling, you were always WAY talented (I still listen to your adult album Oyster). I have forwarded you onto a few others… I am going to check out the schedule and see you play!!! I have two kids…a 9mo old and 2 1/2 year old, my 2 1/2 year old will LOVE you!!

I shalt not play. Except… in my head… over and over and over again…!! ...and again. I still have it stuck in there. Major earworm!!

On first listening I thought you were great. On second listening I thought you were brilliant. Now that I can't force myself to take your CD out of my CD player I just think you're a genius. This is one of the best kid CDs I've ever heard. My wife and I are now in the process of adopting a whole orphanage of kids just so we can have an excuse to listen to your CD...

I know, Kids Place Live listeners are probably tired of this song, seeing as its been played there for months now, but for those who haven't heard this, it's an introductory song for Grammaropolis called "Welcome to Grammaropolis" (natch) and in addition to it being an amusing song it has an amusing video to match. (Unsurprising, considering it's a Doctor Noize joint, and Cory's pretty much the funniest guy in kids music, and that's saying something.)

We listened to Phineas about 10000 x a month or so ago. I guess it is a weird compliment to say...man was I sick of Phineas.

Got the two “Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony” CD’s, listened to them, and they are EPIC!!!

I heard your song "Banana" on XM radio today and my kids went crazy when I told them that I went to college with Dr. Noize and actually knew him! Congrats on your success!

Absolutely delightful! Fun and informative CD destined to entertain and educate kids of all ages!! A must-have collection for your family! Loved it!

My three year old is entranced by Dr. Noize. High praise from a kid who declares bluegrass to be "my music" and disdains Toddler Tunes in favor of Britten string quartets. "That guy is silly," she says with a giggle.

Those of you who are familiar with Doctor Noize's work on Grammaropolis or the first Phineas McBoof album know that the albums throw in everything including the kitchen sink to entertain with the ulterior motive being to educate. The new album is no different -- an amusing story well-told and -sung. Recommended.

Thank you for the CD - not just for the CD itself, but for the incredible artistic creation within. It is truly remarkable and unique and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves. (And what fun that you got to include the rest of your talented family in on the project too!)

Congratulations on (yet more) deserved success!

You did such a FANTASTIC job putting Ms. Theresa (Super Cool) together - what a special gift to Theresa (and to us all) to share! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!

I'm not sure if I forgive you for "Banana" by the way... Just an endless round of singing whenever we see or eat bananas. That's all....did I say endless?

Congratulations on the success. The genre is a perfect outlet for your talent with music, wit, and charisma.

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.

It's a good time.

Join Doctor Noize and a pantheon of musical talent for one of the most imaginative family music releases you’ll ever hear.

Banana,banana,banana... Everytime my kids are in my car, they scream and demand me to turn on your cd. Now I have to listen to your voice at least twice a day and my head is constantly filled with bananas! Thanks,

Thank you so much for the book and cd for Jack. He LOVES them both!!

The new book & CD are awesome! By the way, my son saw the cover of the new Phineas book and said, "Hey, those are the people from the bananas game!

Thanks for the fun afternoon in Fort Collins!! Very entertaining. We love your book too, thanks for the autograph!

Dr. Noize, you are soooo clever.

5 out of 5 stars -- Such a GREAT book. It keeps little ones interested and with the CD they enjoy it even more. Very well written, to me it resembled Dr. Seuss and I absolutely loved the story and the silliness of it. We also bought the CD on a separate occassion which makes the book come alive. My 4 yr. old loves it! Hope Dr. Noize comes to the East Coast some time so we can go see him. Reminds me of old radio shows with the sound effects and story.

I always love your newsletter! Needed my chuckle for the day! My girls love the Phineas book and CD still even after all these years.

You talented sweetie!! (The boys') Grandmother called last week from Washington. She emoted about the hit of their party...your books and thoughtful personalized inscriptions. They were thrilled and most impressed with your ingenuity. So much so she called from the car while going from one party venue to another. Thank you for giving them such a memorable memory and gift.

I stumbled on your site because I was looking for books with the name Phineas in them as odd as that sounds. We are expecting our second boy and we plan to name him Phineas. Our older son Jack loves to read books with his name in them and I was just looking to see what was out there. To my suprise I came across Phineas McBoof and was quite amazed at what a great story it is and I listened to the music and loved it instantly. Now I can’t help but tell everyone about your books and music.

And even though (my son) didn't dance, he was laughing the whole time. 😉 He couldn't wait to show his brother his new book, too. He was reading it on the way home and on into the evening.

I like your music and your books. Thanks!

The Best Newsletter (Noizeletter) in Kids Music... I'm on a number of artist newsletters, obviously, but this one has a higher chuckle ratio than most.

Last night I read your new book "The Return of Phineas McBoof" to my ten-year-old granddaughter.  We both laughed a lot and then gave it to her twin brother Nicholas, who read it, too.  Olivia always wants a bedtime story, but usually goes to sleep in the middle of it and never asks to read it along with me.  This time she insisted I sit on the bed so that she could watch the pictures and the words along with me. I think you must be the musical sequel or successor to Dr. Seuss, and heaven knows the world needs something funny with a sophisticated message hidden in it to laugh at!

You are truly an inspiration to those who might get discouraged when dreams aren't instantly realized... just look where you are...

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.

Dr. Noize... you crazy cat! Thank you for the personalized Ballad of Phineas McBoof - (my daughter) LOVES it!!! I also appreciate all the Jazz references that you made, as that is my favorite music. Keep up the good work.

Bless you, Cory! The books arrived last Thursday and I adore them. I will be so proud to give them to 3 families with each an older bro and younger sis. Thank you for Dr. N.'s autograph!

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.

(My 3-year-old twins) are really into your books right now.  They love music, so get a kick out of the band.   It’s hilarious. That and the octopus. Oh, and they’re fascinated with the page where the students are bored and yawning, falling asleep.  How funny is that?!  You have two fans.

He has a wonderful sense of humor and great empathy for children and great creativity / imagination.

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.

This application is well-thought-out and will provide fun ways to practice many different skills important to understanding parts of speech. The animated characters and scenes are colorful and the music videos are vibrant. The interactive books that accompany each section will captivate younger children’s attention, as well.

Just downloaded and played it with my son. Great app, congrats! Now I know how to read it.

Four stars. Fun! Playing this game may wear out my screen!

Five stars. Addictive fun! Excellent graphics and music - easy to learn and play but very challenging and addictive! Highly recommend."

Children in a wide range of age groups will find this app entertaining and engaging. The music videos are in many different styles, but all have catchy tunes and memorable lyrics. The characters have distinct personalities related to their focus part of speech, and they interact with one another in the imaginary world of Grammaropolis in ways that make a fun story.

Bright, cheerful, and very entertaining.

Five stars. Fun game. Dr. Noize does it again! A great game to go with a great song.

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.

Grammaropolis should be a required stop on every learning roadmap.

Addictive... I tried out a new game yesterday called Bananas. While it’s made for kids, I really liked the game and had a blast playing it. It’s great fun for kids (and adults).

Punctuate This!

As original as children's entertainment gets...  The dialogue and interplay between the characters is charming and funny.  The story... also teaches listeners about the instruments.

Five stars. My child loves the games as well as the music! Good time.

I have visited your site 568 times.

Going bananas! over this app — My wife introduced me to this game at first I didn't want to play as thought it was looking boring however once I played it once OMG I am addicted. it is so much fun my three year old daughter loves it and it is so annoying when you can't get past where there is about a thousand crabs trying to get ur bananas. Brilliant App…

Five stars. Bonkers over Bananas. My toddler loves "Nanas"! He may be developing an aversion to crabs.

Five stars. Addictive!! Very very fun!!

"The linguistic insights are pure gold."

No.  Better get the app.

It’s a good week to be a monkey. That is, assuming your name is Phineas McBoof.  Dr. Noize’s hit iPhone app BANANAS has been updated to include Riley Robot.

The brilliant and lovably insane Doctor Noize is in the final hours of a campaign for his recording project to MAKE THE SYMPHONY FUN FOR KIDS. I hope you'll contribute. Either way, check out his wacky operatic preview!

Sweet! Good Job!... Hittin replay...Now!

I did check out a couple of the animated videos, and they're great!

CU Denver Music and Entertainment Industry Studies Recording Arts Professor Cory Cullinan, AKA “Doctor Noize,” wrote an over-the-top, 70s family band-inspired song to record with his loved ones. Together with his wife and two daughters, they recorded the track and a music video for Doctor Noize’s latest hit, “Stay At Home,” in their home studio.

Love it!!! It made us smile????????!

You’re the new school house rock! Love it!!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!! This was the best 20 minutes that I spent this morning.... It is genius.

I am super impressed. Really. Just stunned. Lisa Rothauser and I listened together and then watched the Making Of video with jaws dropped to the floor.

Just saw Grammaropolis video. Very cool!!! Love the part about gramma thinking it’s about her. Always a treat to hear what you’re up to Dr. Noize! Peace.

Wow, like Schoolhouse Rock when I was a kid! This was great!

Your videos are terrific.

You're a one of a kind person. You're a leader. I learned from you. Thanks again for presenting me with a challenge. It was a a blast, and we are going to put the computer on "stun" so we can pop out something as wonderful as all your voices and melodies and orchestral scores.

I just wandered by your site on a tip from a kind of mutual contact. I had a blast browsing around, listening to the music, and watching the videos. It was inspirational for me as a fellow artist. Congratulations on all your successes, and I wish you the best of luck in the future.

I haven't had fun like today in a long time - it's SO good to be around adults who actually like to be goofy. I can't wait to keep working on this project - seriously... SO AMAZING what you are doing, the quality, fun and beauty of it is really inspiring.
Thank you for that.

Cory Cullinan is all right I guess, but his children are genius. Check out the documentary his oldest made about the making of "Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony." Hang in there until the end...around 21:17 you'll hear my favorite moment of the recording, and hear the story about how it came to be. I can't get over how incredible this music is! And, I can't get over the orchestra...they hit it out of the park!

Just watched the Making of... video for this project - Holy Guacamole! Flippin' amazing story, performances, mission, and result!!

"THE BALLAD OF PHINEAS McBOOF" is very impressive! It was my pleasure to listen. Doctor Noize's utterly joyous song "Banana" is awesome! I loved the superb performance of the drums. The vocals are fantastic and go so well with the animation. I loved watching this song too... it's sure to be a hit with the kids.

I can tell you that I was so happy to be a part of your project. I think the world of you, and, at this stage of my career, I only want to work with people I respect and like. So let me thank you for the experience! I can't wait to hear all about this wonderful project. Again, I'm so happy to have met you. You really touched my life ~

Wow… I just watched those 2 videos and WOW! You're doing such amazing work! I want my teach (my kids) all of those concepts... Big hug.

It makes me think of a modern School House Rock.

If you are looking for a great music experience for your young children... Cory Cullinan (Doctor Noize) is a super funny, spectacular musician. It's hard to describe him - you have to experience it.

OK, I just had a chance to check out your live performance on your webpage!! I am stunned to amazement at how incredibly cool your act is!!!!... Bravo!

So much fun! Thank you.

Dear Doctor Noize... Thank you for performing. I really enjoyed you singing the banana song the best. I listen to your songs every day and know most of the words. I look forward to hearing you play again.

I just told my son Rohan that your birthday was on Thursday and he replied, "I wanna go see Dr. Noize. I like him." Followed immediately by "I like Nemo" (he was playing with a Nemo toy at the time). Seriously, whenever your name comes up, he talks about what fun you were... 🙂 Also, one other anecdote you may find amusing... Rohan often requests we "play Dr. Noize" in the car and always insists on starting with "Banana." So, needless to say the tune is running through my head frequently. So, one day (can't remember what triggered it), I started singing "Obama, Obama, Obama" to the Banana tune and Rohan got quite upset, insisting that I "sing it the right way!!"

You should know that you made it into (my daughter's) bedtime prayers. She goes through a long list of "god blesses" and she recently added to the list (her pediatrician) and "that funny doctor that sings" (you). It took me a while to figure out who she was talking about, but then she mentioned Phineas McBoof and that cleared things up.

Don't miss Doctor Noize.

What a great direction and perfect fit for your many talents.

People are still telling me how much they loved you at The Acorn and that if you return, they will return and bring more people. I'm just sayin’…

I enjoyed playing a symphony kid's concert today that included the conductor ripping his pants off, opera songs about bananas, 30 second excerpts from Rite of Spring, and improvising in F-sharp minor. And they call this work?

Thanks again for the amazing birthday. I had people tell me for days what a great time their kids had.

"Schools teach students how to perform music and music history, but they don't give students the opportunity to create music of their own" said Cory Cullinan, aka Doctor Noize. "Every other subject allows you to practice creating, there English lit classes and then there's creative writing, there's art history classes and then art classes, where you get to actually make things" said Cullinan, a former high school teacher. But when you get to music, there's chorus and band. That's it. I want kids to start thinking, "I could write a song?" So rather than just quietly listening to Cullinan perform his various instruments including keyboards, saxophone and, of course, a kazoo kids will also get to help arrange and record a song. "(The kids are) sort of shocked when they are able to just get up and do it", he said. "They think there's this wall between them and music. I don't think we encourage kids enough to be creative musically. Kids just like to be part of the creative process."

great time Friday night.

It was magical to be with you, warming our hearts now as in the past. And the girls -- I will never forget seeing them sing with such gusto -- and meeting me with such smiles. I took a good many photos of happy children. Thanks for all you continue to give.

We love having you entertain. Thanks so much!!

In his music for children, he creates layers and loops and invites his young audience members to help make multi-track songs. Seeing and hearing how each contribution, from percussion and bass to melody and harmony, adds to the whole, audience members get a new appreciation for a song's structure...

Doctor Noize sings, plays multiple instruments, and uses electronic looping technology, all while inspiring kids to be musicians themselves.

Cullinan brings bags of instruments to each performance and invites the audience to join in making music. Through his Macintosh Powerbook, he records different instruments and loops the sounds over each other. Cullinan moves quickly between the saxophone, keyboard, guitar and vocals during performances. Kids learn to recognize the different instrument sounds and are invited to add their own sound to the track.

Congratulations on the success. The genre is a perfect outlet for your talent with music, wit, and charisma.

Love your passion for teaching about music to the little ones.

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.

The shows were fun... the kids liked them, including the kids in the orchestra! Thanks for the fun!

Thank You Dr. Noize! You were awesome on stage in juneau, AK... You're welcome to play any time again!

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.

I've said this before, so excuse me if I sound like a broken record, but I think what you're doing to bring orchestra and music theatre to young listeners is admirable, important, and awesome. 🙂

Your gift for inspiring kids is unparalleled, my friend!

Awesome performances this week, Dr. Noize! The kids are still abuzz with excitement about the shows! You have done an amazing job with this symphony project!

Doctor Noize makes classical music fun for kids.

My boys had a blast, thanks for the great concert! So now, not only do we sing the Banana song, but also 1-2-3-4-5-6-7- a song!

Great two concerts. It was nice to see it all come together, complete with good crowds both days! Although, I'm pretty sure there are some broken windows at Lone Tree Arts Center from the high pitched kids screaming on Friday. Lol.

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

Banana, che cosa mi avete incitato a fare per amore?

The symphony concerts we performed with Doctor Noize were spectacular! I have never seen kids respond with so much enthusiasm to a classical music concert. He's fun, funny and irreverent. His gift for inspiring kids is unparalleled.

Awesome, amazing show!!! You rock!

I had tears in my eyes when you asked a thousand kids if they wanted to hear Beethoven’s Fifth, and they screamed yes like it was a rock show.

I still credit Dr. Noize as being one of the foundational experiences in my musical journey... Truly your program changes lives! Who knows what I'd be majoring in at Vanderbilt if not for Phineas McBoof!  I’m majoring in percussion performance with a minor in business, focusing on arts administration and sustainability... Whoo boy that’s a mouthful!

We loved your show and (my daughter) is enjoying the records and books. She hasn’t heard “Symphony” yet, but I have - it’s terrific.  Now you need a book to go with it … in your spare time.  🙂

It was a very great performance... we all enjoyed learning about the orchestra so much!

Gotta love this whacko Cory Cullinan out there busting his butt representing for music + kids. (And doing Stanford proud.)

Glad to have been a part of this!

Thanks for the amazing music, and for helping me improve my voice!

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for bringing such joy for music to so many kids. BRAVISSIMO!!!!

Congratulations on the fantastic new request to Dr. Noize for his next piece of work--that is quite simply wonderful, and such a recognition of you and what you have achieved!

It's now being picked up by theater groups. All to teach kids about music. How about doing something useful, Cory?

(Our nephew who played Phineas McBoof) SO loved being part of this and all your inspired music and story.

You did an amazing job. Thank you for composing the music and helping us with sound effects. You were the best. P.S. Banana!

I was so grateful to work on this with you, Cory. The music and live sound really change the energy of the production, and make it feel so much more full and engaging. And you were so great with the kids. Thank you so much.

Dang, that sounds really awesome. Congrats, man!

Thank you for making such amazing music.

So fun!  Can't wait!

Thank you so much for my amazing songs! I really had fun working with you.

Awesome!

I enjoyed the show soooo much. I loved the Dr. Noize character. He reminded me of you!  Hmmmm.

Our goal at the Children’s Theatre is to present stories that engage our audiences.  We are honored to collaborate with a composer of Cullinan’s experience, imagination, and musical skill directing his talents toward fostering new work for young audiences.

Super cool! Kids' theatre people, check it out. Awesome new musical! Congratulations, Cory Cullinan!

So cool, Cory!

One of our favorite books being “tuned” by one of our favorite and inspiring and energetic people on the planet. What fun.

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!

Brilliant, Cory. The world is very lucky to have you in it.

I knew you when and briefly, have lots of fun!!!

Thank you for coming to our school and helping us wright a song and the lirics.

In real life, his name is Cory Cullinan, and he said his show reflects a few things about his life. "One, I'm a little crazy,'' he said. "Two, I'm an ex-music teacher so you can see my music-geekiness."

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!

I wanted to tell you what an excellent job you did on the concert with the Lone Tree Symphony. I was amazed at how quickly the kids picked up on your classical music lesson and loved it as well. Coordination with the symphony was delightful, especially how they all played along with the work. Never forget Conductor Jacinda Bouton with a pink tail. I have talked about the performance in several groups and in fact briefed Council the next week. They were amazed when I mentioned how the symphony players stood up and down to your musical arrangements. You are doing tremendous work and I wish you continued success for the lessons you are teaching.

One of my children’s music heroes, Dr. Noize - a talented children’s musician, composer, and CEO of Doctor Noize Inc. (Whew!). He is passionate about bringing sophisticated music to kids that will inspire kids to stretch their minds and explore. A keen observation from his page: “Today's culture promotes increasingly short-attention-span multimedia to a generation who'll grow up to face increasingly sophisticated challenges.”

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.

Dear Doctor Noize... Who are your kazoo influences?

Every time he does it, I tell myself I should tell you. Finally, this time I will. For the umpteenth time, when I went into his bedroom to ask how school and homework are going, Polo jumps up from his work and animatedly begins telling stories about your class. He resets his CD player to a specific track from The Messiah and goes into what makes that part so appealing to him, then, after another moment, says enthusiastically, “He’s such a great teacher!” and “Did you know it’s a round? He had us sing Row Row Row Your Boat to show us what a fugue is!” This, plus more about you at the keyboard, in front of the class, etc., goes on for about 10 minutes before I remind him that I didn’t come in to disturb his homework or distract him, just to check in… "Oh yeah…” he’ll say as he heads back into his room (his retelling includes coming out to pick out some melodies on the piano). I couldn’t keep it in because his increasing love of music is creditable solely to you and it makes me very, very happy. And if I were you, I’d sure want to know that what I do and how I do it is making a very big difference. Thank you.

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.

I recently read "The Last Lecture," which was so poignant I found it quite haunting, but that isn't the point. The point is that in reading the book, and then searching YouTube for video of Randy Pausch and his lecture and then (heartbreakingly) his memorial service, I thought a lot of Cory. His energy and how he affected and influenced people, students, and colleagues reminded me of you. I wish nothing but the best for Dr. Noize and his future career. I also think you would be an amazing teacher at a higher level of education, and thought you should know that I think that.

Thank you for taking some of your time to do a song wit us. I'm With The band!

We want to thank you for working with the students at RSA and inspiring them to create such fun, exciting music. Thank you so much for all of your efforts with the North State Symphony to inspire a love of classical music and composing to our North State students.

My husband is a big fan of Dr. Noize after attending a concert with our kids through Music for Minors. He has been a MfM docent for the last 5 years+ and loves getting our own kids (and others) to love music as much as he does.

Thank you for making a song with us it was really funny somtimes because you made me laugh and was very fun.

There are still a few spots left in our MUSICAL GENIUS WORKSHOP, in which your child can write AN ORIGINAL SONG WITH DOCTOR NOIZE! Dr. Noize will work with students to write and record a song- lyrics, music, everything - in an energized and challenging interactive workshop unlike anything they've ever experienced.

Thank you! I really enjoyed making the song, coming up with lerics/words, and finding the subject. It was awesome! I appreceated it very much. Thank you so much please come again. PS Disco Monkey! Zombie style.

You are a great coach… to thousands of young people.

You are so good at music. I like your name (Dr. Noise). Thanks for helping our class, I love our song we made. I have never made a song before. This time it was so fun.

Thank you for coming to Eagle Ridge. I liked your dance moves and the beat to the song. Your singer, Jalen...

I love my Doctor Noize guitar pick chain. I can hardly wait to wear it to Doctor Noize and a U2 concerts!

One of your most entertaining newsletters to date!

Your April Fools Wiggles prank was the greatest thing ever. You are awesome.

Noize Rocks!

What a wonderful path he has taken and the joy he brings to so many!

Those cookies are awesome! How exciting is that to have fans that crazy about you … ; )

I think everyone should have a Sidney The Beak T-Shirt.

Wow, what a great show!  I love the interactivity, the demonstration of tech choices/uses, the upbeat pace, the musicality... I'm sure you've heard all of that before...

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.

Thank you for your kindness in sharing your talents and gifts in honor of our son. It was a wonderful event. Thank you!

i was just looking through your website again... and watched the video of the kaia song that you did at the show. i'm not sure i ever told you properly how amazing that was. i know it was a little overwhelming for kaia but i think she enjoyed it too. but maybe more significantly, it was a really amazing way to get all those people to express their love for her. it was a really cool thing to be a part of aside from the fact that i am her dad. being her dad too, wow...so very cool. so anyway, thanks again for that. the show was great, of course, but that little impromptu bit for her specifically was above and beyond.

Here's wishing you MUCH success with that McBoof rascal.

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!

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!

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.

You guys rock! Thank you mucho for donating back to Pinewood and helping us finally get Middle Campus renovated. We love your music!

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.

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.

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.

Loved the original kickstarter video.

It has been such a joy working with you.  You are an 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!

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!

We raised over $3,800 at the Benefit Concert for Kaia Emery, a wonderful girl who's mom recently passed away. Kaia is June's Noizemaker Of The Month! Watch the video of Kaia's Song, improvised with a packed audience of Geniuses at my alma mater Stanford.

You always make this day a bit more special.  🙂  Best Old McDonald I've ever heard!

Everyone had a great time and we raised $740 for Treyton's Field Of Dreams & Connor's playground!

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.

My gratitude's off the charts to have a hand in this positive, proactive, inclusive, multi-racial & international project. Global sustainability's the issue of our time, but it’s also the issue of our children’s future. Time to get 'em in the loop, in a fun & funky way, to build a brighter tomorrow holistically. Our record’s a hurricane of love for the earth & its people.

I hope you enjoy reading this book to your kids as much as I enjoyed writing it for mine.

It's a rough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

I’ve always loved reading to my own kids — now I get to read to yours too!  Your kids will dig mixing their own version of our theme song.

This app is gonna be amazing.  This app is gonna be amazing?  This app is gonna be amazing!

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.

I’ve been given the rare opportunity to build a series for the most adventurous audience in the world — kids and the adults who belong to them.  I can’t imagine giving the next generation anything but my best, so I treat them as the budding creative geniuses they can be and the world needs.

I like smart.  I like smart a lot. And you're smart.

In the electronic media age, mastery of the written word is an increasingly rare skill.  I’m thrilled to team with acclaimed young adult author Coert Voorhees — Mayor Of Grammaropolis — to produce a musical for all ages celebrating the power of words on equal footing with the power of music.

We’ve made sure to offer a little of everything to fans with the Doctor Noize Apps — from games with established hit game makers to interactive ebooks and deep educational ventures.

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.

The greatest award you can ever achieve is the knowledge that you gave everything you can give toward a purpose you believe in.  Everything else is gravy.

Many fine artists make collections of songs for kids.  My goal is to introduce kids to larger-form works, and more sophisticated concepts, than a single song could ever offer.  If we can expand the creativity, curiosity and character of each listener — from kids to adults — we can raise the ambition and empathy levels in this beautiful world.  Each recording features world-class artists administering giant heaps of fun to the cause.

Kids are the most adventurous audience in the world.  Their enthusiasm makes us better listeners as parents and teachers.  It’s imperative that we bring kids positive energy and inspirational musical substance in shows.  They’re forming their minds; they’re forming their level of sophistication; they’re forming our future.

Sometimes you just gotta have a little musical fun in the sun.

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.

Thank you for helping us bring sophisticated family fare to the world's most important audience -- kids.

Show 'em your character.  And show 'em you're in The International Band Of Misunderstood Geniuses.

This book is bananas!

You Mayor!  Here be some badly grammar too drive you crazy.  You dig?
