I've got one word. Funny. 9 out of 10. But that's the best rating I give.

The Adjective song is awesome! Lovely! Amazing!

Love your creativity with the “Punctuate This!” album and your awesome lyrics and new words like “Grammaropolis!” Educational and fun!

Great music and great fun! Get your copy now! Simply amazing. And, no, Doctor Noize did not pay nor ask for the endorsement.

Got the cd - kids love it!

Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony is the most unique children's album I've heard. Inventive, engaging and entertaining; like a children's narrative opera. Great job…

Your kids will love Dr. Noize!

For a mama bunny who doesn’t like music she sure sings well. This is amazing. Seriously! We just finished the whole thing. Amazing! You are a talented man. What an accomplishment. Congratulations.

Dr. Noize of Phineas McBoof fame is a mad genius. I could discuss the relative merits of leveling with your child with this magician from Colorado for hours… and may just do that someday…

An easy-on-the ears album that brings kids in the wonderful world of the symphony through a silly monkey conductor.  It’s unlike everything I have ever heard and I thought it was quite bold to include the element of silliness and play with several minute ballads and songs about robots.  Somehow it all works together with the song line-up and there is plenty of online and educational content to inspire children into different worlds on music.  Awesome!

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.

"Some Day Soon"… Sadness, triumph, desperation - great song.

I have been meaning to email you and let you know that my boys have NOT STOPPED listening to your cd. They just LOVE IT! They walk around the house with their guitar and imitate you. It is really cute.

You can't fake the mojo. This cartoon-colored Odyssey shows how Phineas learns about other creatures love of music. This all serves to bring him back to his senses and start playing again, as he realizes we each have a song to contribute to the great symphony of life. Doctor Noize, a.k.a. Cory Cullinan, is adept at composing complex, layered songs that use music to reinforce the emotional theme. All in all, this is a fun audio story that your kids will enjoy over and again.

Peripatetic musical maven Phineas McBoof (who happens to be a monkey) has formed a new orchestra in this newest installment of the series written and composed by Cory Cullinan. Here, the McBoof saga continues in a wacky -- and unexpectedly informative -- musical adventure in two acts introducing listeners to the worlds of opera and the symphony, with jazz, hip-hop, Broadway and, specifically, Beethoven thrown into the mix.

My daughter was so excited the other day to hear Dr. Noize on the radio...

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.

The kids already have listened to the CD multiple times -- I teased (my son) that he was trying to learn the words to the Banana song.

The Ballad Of Phineas McBoof is the winner of the Judge's Special Award.

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!

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

Gosh, Doc, not only are YOU brilliant and talented, looks like the next noizeration is too!

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.

An engaging picture book for the short set. "Now go make some noize." All of this should draw the attention of the national music teacher's organizations, which have stepped up efforts to convince parents and school and government officials about the positive results documented in studies about kids who have music in their lives.

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.

I'm lovin Phineas and the book!

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

My nephews in Tennessee LOVE the CD and the book.

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.

My kids keep asking...why can't Dr. Noize come to visit??

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.

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.

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.

The book really comes together, works great for our family. (Our son) laughs at the musical bottom every time... the one in your book that is.

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.

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!

Go where you wanna be.

The new book is of course crazy fun. It's also great to have the revamped Ballad of. Fun to compare - we are split in our house as to which version rules. 😉

Kaia really likes the book. Your creativity is amazing and inspiring.

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.

Five stars. Addictive!! Very very fun!!

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. 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.

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

"The linguistic insights are pure gold."

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).

I have visited your site 568 times.

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.

Punctuate This!

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

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

No.  Better get the app.

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

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

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

Noize Rocks!

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!

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 … ; )

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

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

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

Just saw (Grammaropolis)... It's so good! My favorite part is where the grandma gets rejected haha.. does this make me a bad person?

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.

AMAZING!!! see what I did there....

THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!

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!

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.

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

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

Cool.

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...

Doctor Noize is a busy guy. Not only has he just released The Return of Phineas McBoof, his second album about the title character, and he coaches his daughters' soccer team, but on March 4, he's releasing Grammaropolis, an album about, ummmm... grammar? 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.

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.

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!

Your grammar videos are SUPERBLY entertaining. Thanks.

Dr. Noize, the mad genius behind the rock-opera The Ballad of Phineas McBoof, breaks down the new single from version 2 of his debut album by talking about Vivaldi, syncopation, and ancient chord progressions.  He’s encouraged to dance like Justin Bieber, but he encourages us to listen to a wide range of musical genres.  This is pretty funny.

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

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

It makes me think of a modern School House Rock.

We have been reading, listening and watching the video too. My son especially LOVES the octopus.

My son just came home and said, "You missed all the funny!" Gotta love it!

Parents -- this is a must see. My kids love Dr. Noize. His show is high energy, creative and had unreal energy. Make sure you put it on the schedule. You will thank me, I promise. This guy is completely amazing. My kids adore him. He is insanely creative. It will be a blast. Trust me, the kids will love it.

We've been going "bananas" in our house since seeing you perform yesterday. (My son) has been roaming the house singing "Phineas McBook" and "Bananas" and saying "Doctor Noize" in a deep low voice. It's quite funny. All he wants to do besides play football is to put a concert on which consists of him playing his golf club like a guitar and singing along to your songs. Anyhow, we really had a great time and (my son) can't get enough of your CD.

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

Thank you! It was great.

Your show is amazing!! And the kids love it!! Everyone seemed so into the show, even the adults!! I am re-energized...

I'm glad you enjoyed performing at Yahoo! We loved having you there. We definitely want to do it again next year.

I would like to introduce you to our favorite kids musician in the galaxy - Dr. Noize. Cory (aka Dr. Noize) has finished his first children's CD and is now touring and putting on amazing shows. Let me just tell you, this guy was born to entertain kids!! Hes got such incredible energy and passion for what he does. He truly gets so much joy out of hanging with the kids - he is literally one of those lucky people in this world who absolutely loves what he does (and is great at it!)!! He plays tons of different instruments and even gets the kids involved making their own music! The kids (and adults) love it and have a great time!

Dr. Noize aka the awesome Cory Cullinan performing at Santa Rita School... Once a bobcat, always a bobcat.

Cory! 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 Oyster). 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!!

Having grown up in a town of about 1000 people in Ohio before my family moved to the huge town of Barstow, California, I first hand know that those kids will never, ever forget the precious time you spent with them.

great time Friday night.

It was really great to have you perform at our school and it would definitely be fun to have you back! You are truly gifted as a children's performer.

The concert was fantastic!!! We all loved the show and when we got home, my son was already asking if I knew when he'd be putting on another performance in the area.

Rave reviews from that show!  Thanks for doing such a good job for our little music lovers.  You’ve always been one of our favorites!  You’re so easy to work with and so much fun to watch!   I had a good time at the show...

Thank you so much for coming. We really enjoyed your interview and performance.

It is indeed a rare occasion that CRI and Denver Public Schools are so generously provided with assemblies. Your talent, professionalism and audience participation were excellent -- not to mention your ability to improvise with a power failure. We thank you so much for sharing your time and talents with Cowell Elementary.

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.

You’ve always been one of our favorites!  You’re so easy to work with and so much fun to watch!

VERY COOL! I am so glad that you found your passion and followed it... We LOVED the show! My daughter hasn't stopped talking about your show -- she's a big fan now!

My kids are IN his performance, in Denver, all weekend this weekend! The music is amazing. He is awesome! The show was amazing! I hope for the best for the whole endeavor.

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.

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

That was wonderful!  You are such a talented guy and it is a joy to see how kids respond to you and your music!

That was an auditorium of “pure joy,” and who wouldn’t love being a part of that?!!

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.

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.  🙂

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!

My time working with the North State Symphony would not have been as eventful and exciting if I hadn't got the chance to work with you. It was always a joy to see little faces light up in the audience. I wish Phineas McBoof a mountain of success going forward.

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

Awesome, amazing show!!! You rock!

You are BRILLIANT!!

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.

Your gift for inspiring kids is unparalleled, my friend!

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

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

Doctor Noize makes classical music fun for kids.

We received our priceless package!  My son has already read the books multiple times and listened to the CDs.  They are great.  You did an amazing job creating classical music geared towards kids.  Congratulations again and Thank you!

Glad to have been a part of this!

A day with Dr. Noize is like three days with normal people!

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!

Holy cow. That's just amazing!

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

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

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!

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

Thanks. The music was incredible.

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

My kids love Doctor Noize!

Last performance – and sold out house. The kids all made a special thanks to you at the end of the show, telling the audience how awesome it was to work with you. It was very sweet. And a really great last performance. It really came together."

These kids (in the show) are amazing! And so happy. LOVE. Kids can do *anything*. You're a force for good, Cory Cullinan.

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!

So fun!  Can't wait!

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

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

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

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

Thank you for making such amazing music.

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

Dr. Noize – Are you a real Dr? And if so, what kind of doctor are you? Lenny Long Tail – Phineas says you were fiddling a really old kind of violin when he first met you. What’s the difference between a fiddle and violin?

Thank you so much for your amazing contribution to our fundraiser. Your presence at the party and your keynote message to our guests was the perfect element to success! Thank you so much for also making time in your busy schedule.

Thank you for coming!!! Hope you have a great time writing your songs!

THANK YOU!! The kids LOVED the final product and hopefully they get to do it again next year. I really enjoyed your workshop and would love to have you come to Saratoga next year as well!

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.

The kids LOVED Dr. Noize. He played his guitar and sang many fun songs with the kids. After he left they each shared their favorite song from Dr. Noize’s performance. Almost every kid said a different song. This was a fun experience for the children. They sang, danced, and laughed A LOT with Dr. Noize. Plato, a famous Greek philosopher once said... “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.”

Thank you for coming to our school and helping us make a song.

Thank you so much for doing a song with us. You are silly. Your freind Jordan.

My BFF was telling me all about this amazing presentation by Dr. Noize today at Redding School of Arts. And I was saying "Wait, wait, stop, I KNOW Cory!" So, how funny is that?

The symphony with Dr. Noize was AWESOME! I do hope you bring him back.The kids had the best time, were very engaged, and all wanted to go to the evening concert.I do hope this wonderful musician can return to Juneau!

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.

I loved your performance and it was like heaven... You didn't care what anybody thought, you just went for it. That was the best assembly ever because you were there.

I still have your speech on demystifying excellence and have shared it with many friends. I read it more than once a year, and it always helps to inspire me.

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.

THANK YOU for all you did to provide the Pinewood Singers with such an amazing performance “road trip”!!! Christopher had a fabulous time! He told me that the singing — the performances, the preparation, the bus trips, the group time….all that was even more fun than Disneyland (which, of course was a great time, too!) He loves being part of this group. Honestly, I think if you wanted him to dress in leiderhosen and yodel, you could probably get him to do that, too….!!! You have an amazing gift for connecting with these teenagers, and we are SO lucky to have you in their school lives. Thank you, thank you, and CONGRATULATIONS on the awards as well!!

Wow… that was an amazing speech!

Did your kids come home talking about Beethoven like mine did today?!? Hope so! Dr. Noize is generously taking time to introduce our kids to the world of classical music -- and how it relates to modern, pop music. Now go ask your kids what they learned today ... if you are like me, you'll learn something new!

Your program and visit last spring was fabulous! I am ready to go to work on anything that would support your program and the success of my students' involvement. I can't wait to work with you again!

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.

I really liked how you gave up your time and came to our school and showed us how to make our own song. Disco dance!

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!

Loved the original kickstarter video.

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

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Thank you very much for coming out to Somersett and helping out the Food Bank of Northern Nevada!

It just wouldn’t be April Fool’s Day without an email from Dr. Noize. 😉  Thanks for the laugh.

How was it that this man had a literally boundless store of energy and good humor?

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

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.

Wow! What a great show. My kids were thrilled.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

Let’s make a positive impact together.

What they said. (And this is in fact the post content.)

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

It’s imperative that we reteach our culture to be curious and intellectual.  As a lifelong student and teacher — and a parent and children’s musician in the modern technology age — I consider it my duty to impart a love of learning and the joy of building a sophisticated intellect to the next generation.

This book is bananas!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

As our technology develops at a rapid pace, our intellectual focus level and moral development — why we do what we do — is at greater and greater risk.  Purpose matters.  Sophistication matters.  Let’s make sure we don’t flip our internal processors off every time we switch our external processors on.

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

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