Fan Buzz

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!!

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,

Opera for kids…. “Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony” is GENIUS. And it's so fun, and at times, lyrical, lush, the piece from the last few minutes gave me chills. I love this project. Absolutely AMAZING. Really love what you're doing. So much kid's music today is pandering, but yours is intelligent, engaging, fun, at times awe-inspiring, and something parents will enjoy as much as their kids. Fantastic fantastic work.

They sound great!  Wow, what a huge, colorful, production with about a million moving parts to it!  Bravo on your accomplishment - it's really epic! Congrats on Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony, and many thanks for the opportunity for the Chorale folks to take part in it!  What a fun project, and it's smashing the way it turned out!

Dang it! My son and I have been singing 'Buh-NAH-NUH, buh-NAH-NUH, buh-NAAAAH-NUUUUUUH...' all morning and now I can't get it out of my head...

It's a good time.

Your kids will love Dr. Noize!

Phineas McBoof rocks! We're having a great time listening to it.

You're awesome and the production is fantastic.

We've been wearing out the new CD. Whole family loves it and my kids is quoting the songs!

Yay! When are you coming to Cincinnati? My niece will be thrilled. Don’t tell her, but she’s getting your CD for her birthday...

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!

I am so excited about his wonderful news with XM Radio! I have to say that I am in total agreement with the XM Radio lady. I absolutely loved listening to it, and I have listened to it many times since and shared it with my friend, who also thought it was great! I am looking forward to getting copies for friends of mine. When we were listening to it, I couldn't help but imagine it as a Disney movie or a Broadway Musical. I thought that it was so clever. The music was great, and it has an appeal that people of all ages can appreciate! I would love to help in whatever way that I can to spread the word about his wonderful project! (Although it seems that word it getting out quite well!)...

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.

I'm fascinated by you project man. Sincerely.  The vintage packaging. The illustrations. The music. It's genius bro.

Wow is my son enchanted with your albums! He cheers when he hears them start up in the car. Seriously. Also, he was talking about how "Awesome" is his favorite song and how he wants to sing it for Grammy, as he was singing it for me. You did a good thing. And you're about to do another good thing.

Huge congrats on a great record and a super cool concept for making kids excited!

NOTEWORTHY: THE BEST IN RECENT KIDS' CDS... Pity Phineas McBoof. Exhausted by his fame and fans, the "musical King Kong" has disappeared, and only his International Band of Misunderstood Geniuses knows how to find the iconic monkey. It's a familiar tabloid tale, as seen through the lens of a kaleidoscope rather than a paparazzo's camera. Loaded with witty narration and some creatively impressive tunes, the CD has launched a book by the same title and a sequel is due. Recipient of a 2007 Parents' Choice Award, it goes without saying that the album also wins the prize for best title of the year.

This is AWESOME. So entertaining and hip. I especially remember the love duet - maybe it was about action verbs. Wonderful for all ages.

I've been meaning to tell you how in awe of Phineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony I am. I can't believe you know how to score music like that!!

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

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.

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.

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. 😉

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

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.

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.

You have an incredible story telling talent! We are really enjoying your cd and book I marvel at your creative ability... We are looking forward to part two of Phineas's adventures.

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!

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.

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.

Dr. Noize, you are soooo clever.

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

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.

We are still coming down from our Doctor Noize high after your program at the Lafayette Library yesterday. I know you made a lot of new "Phineas McBoof" fans after your having read the book and played the music. Not only was your enthusiasm contagious but it became quite evident you perform with a great deal of joy. It was my pleasure to have met you and I thank you on behalf of all of the children and parents who were lucky enough to be here yesterday.

We were at a party with all ages, and a father leaned down to his daughter to whisper, "That's Doctor Noize's Mommy." She shouted out, "Grandma, that's Doctor Noize's Mommy!!!" My new claim to fame!

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.

THEN I remembered your books! I don't think we've ever had books that went with music like this. When my son figured out you'd given them to us, he literally cheered.

My son cannot get enough of the book, The Ballad Of Phineas McBoof... as well as its companion CD. Through the crazy adventures of Phineas the rock star monkey and his International Band of Misunderstood Geniuses, he's able to discover the wonder and joy of making music with friends. The story is fun to read. The illustrations are wonderful. And the music is a treat for both of us.

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!! Very very fun!!

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.

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.

I have visited your site 568 times.

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.

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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.

"The linguistic insights are pure gold."

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

No.  Better get the app.

Bright, cheerful, and very entertaining.

Grammaropolis should be a required stop on every learning roadmap.

Punctuate This!

Finding ways to keep the family occupied without fighting can be a challenge.  But I've found a family that is doing just that, and at the same time, they're helping others.

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

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.

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

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!

I keep seeing the video with Isabel Leonard and Nathan Gunn in my head… You're amazing and talented beyond imagination!

"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.

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

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

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.

This a terrific project by a local Lone Tree artist who is passionate about teaching children about classical music -- in a crazy, fun and raucous way! He's enlisted the help of opera superstars Nathan Gunn and Isabel Leonard (check out the video). I've made a personal contribution, and if you think children should be able to learn about classical music and have fun at the same time, please think about doing the same.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Cute video...looks & sounds like a big hit.

Your videos are terrific.

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

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.

Great show. I really enjoyed it, and loved seeing all the kids get into it.

great time Friday night.

Just wanted to tell you how much (my daughter, my grandkids) and I loved the show yesterday. Cory is so very talented and such a joy to be around.

At the heart of Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest in Fort Collins lies the spirit of creativity and imagination. From the musicians I hear that it's really wonderful to play at this event, but also that they can hear other musical talents, "kind of like a meeting of minds" added Hummell. That sentiment is echoed by Dr. Noize, who will be playing on the Kids Music Adventure stage, which Hummel believes is one of the best parts of the entire weekend because of the hands-on workshops and music education available for children and families alike. He plays upside-down music on keyboards, guitar, drums, saxophone and the kazoo, layering the instruments to build up in a loop, then adding vocals of the children and finally the adults in the audience. It's not only about songwriting, but the creative process of making music.

Congratulations. You are making your old first grade teacher really proud. It was fun to see you on Saturday at The Bus Barn Theatre. Keep up the good work. You get an E for excellent entertainment and an N for "Never sits in his chair." Love, Mrs. Bryant

The children's performer produces whimsical pop music on the spot, inviting the audience members to come up and join in on the creative process. He plays multiple instruments and uses computers to arrange and record the songs at the show.

CONGRATULATIONS, WOW!!! what an amazing performance. The boys are so pumped up and have been singing and eating Bananas ever since we got home. So, if you ever decide to write a song about prunes, we may have problems. Today, I finally burned the CD from my itunes library onto a disc-Now we can jam to it in the car. Thanks so much for a really fun day...

Thank you again for working with us on our event. If the voice of the child is is the measure of success then it was a resounding ... yea, whoopee, fantastic! The adults enjoyed as well.

While attending Stanford, Cullinan met Kyle Wiley Pickett, now Music Director and Conductor of the North State Symphony. The two hit it off and became friends. They sang in the Stanford Chamber Chorale together, and performed together in operas for Bay Area school kids. They've kept in touch and have followed each other's careers over the years...now both fathers, they are excited to be coming together again to blend their musical talents in this very special show for kids.

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

Congratulations on a great tour! Again, we really enjoyed having you here in Redwood City... Thank you for helping to make (downtown Redwood City) a destination spot because of your concert.

Cullinan said when designing his show that it was important the entertainment engaged children and their parents. He does this by bringing parents into the show and allowing them to accompany him on vocals.

We have had the opportunity to work closely with a wonderful young musician-educator by the name of Cory Cullinan (aka Dr. Noize), who is performing here in the museum as well as exploring a possible traveling music exhibit with us. He's a great musician, wonderful educator and great person and we recommend him highly!

Thanks again - you have 37 new fans after today!

The energy that Cory generates is right on the edge of manic. Kids wanted to be on stage, and we had to pull them back.

You were a HIT! REeally enjoyed your show - you are incredible...............

(We) had a lot of fun taking part in your show on Saturday. The kids were spectacular! Thank-you for your wonderful performance!

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!

We had our granddaughter overnight and took her to a kids’ concert in the park with some friends with their grandkids (Google Dr. Noize on the Internet and get a flavor of how amazing the performance was…) VERY interactive… my granddaughter and all the kids there loved it! And… she slept until 8:00AM this morning… a first!

Thank you for all you did this weekend. The campers were talking about your sessions today! One even brought in his guitar. Thank you for your educational approach when creating songs with our campers. It made our music week fun and meaningful.

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.  🙂

Your gift for inspiring kids is unparalleled, my friend!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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!

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

You are BRILLIANT!!

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.

It was a lot of fun.

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. 🙂

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.

Awesome, amazing show!!! You rock!

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

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

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

Holy cow. That's just amazing!

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

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.

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."

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!

So fun!  Can't wait!

Awesome!

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

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!

Dang, that sounds really awesome. Congrats, man!

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

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

So cool, Cory!

My kids love Doctor Noize!

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.

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

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

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

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!

You are amazing... keep up the wonderful work!

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!!

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 have had the privilege of being taught by Mr. Cullinan for two full semesters during my freshman and sophomore years at my high school. I still find it next to impossible to imagine just how much stamina and willpower and strength Mr. C commands; I have so much respect for him. In my mind, a hero is not necessarily someone who has saved my life, or rescued me from danger, or radically changed my life. Mr. C is a hero simply because he has given me, however unintentionally, the gift of inspiration. I can only aspire to simulate his remarkable qualities in my own life; but I shall try.

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.”

An inspiring, effective educator who left a lasting impact on my life… I have vivid memories of his high energy teaching style, positivity, and deep commitment to his students. He is rare, one of a kind, and brings out the best in everyone around him… He embodies the existence of bright light on the other side.

Dr. Noize, this is Sean from Reno, the one that did the break dancing, I want you to know I keep talking to everyone about your show, I really enjoyed it, and my mom said I can take piano lessons.

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

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.

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 for coming to our school and performing for us. I bet it was hard work setting all that up.

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 for writing a song with us. Here's a picture of the Discoball guy.

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.”

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

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.

Dr. Noize, I like your drumming! From your biggest fan.

Thank you so much for coming to my class for a songwriting workshop! I really loved it! It was fun when you made Ms. Tait laugh. I also loved the song! Thanks again! Do you like my cursive?

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!

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!

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

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

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

This book is bananas!

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

Let’s make a positive impact together.

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

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.

We're making a punctuation album? Hey! Let me tell you something:  We're making a punctuation album...

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

I wrote and recorded The Ballad of Phineas McBoof when I was a high school music teacher, documentary film composer, and new parent.  Basically, I wrote what I’d want to listen to with my own kids.  To my great delight, other parents, educators and kids agreed with me.  And thus Doctor Noize was born.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
