You’re amazing!!

Few artists can make music education feel like pure magic, but Cory Cullinan has built an entire career doing just that.

An accomplished recording artist and educator.

After one semester of our new degree in Recording Arts Technology, I have been so proud of what has been accomplished and even more honored to work with incredible professionals who have helped make this dream come to fruition. It does not go without saying that the impact of Cory Cullinan on my life and career is monumental, and he deserves all the shouting out possible. Thank you, Cory Cullinan!

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!

Songwriter, musician, and college professor Cory Cullinan mentored middle school students at North Routt Community Charter School in winter 2023. Over the course of six weeks, twoin-person workshops, and one Zoom session, Cory led the students in writing an original songinspired by their history curriculum. All lyrics were written by the students. After the residency, 100% of students surveyed reported feeling more comfortable talking to and asking questions of adults who are not teachers, 100% of students surveyed reported feeling more confident to share their ideas, and 75% of students surveyed reported feeling good about their abilities to be creative.

Chowning’s lectures and performances, hosted by Cullinan in Colorado this February, will further celebrate his legacy. This collaboration underscores the mutual respect between mentor and protégé, showcasing the dynamic relationship between past innovation and present creativity.

Cory Cullinan gave a fabulous workshop! Thanks for capturing part of it @kids.radio!!

It’s such a joy to work with colleagues at CU Denver College of Arts & Media like Cory Cullinan, who is collaborating with Konshens The MC to Funk The Earth — lifting up positivity and support of United Nations sustainable development goals through arts, media and culture. Cultural well-being!

Thank you for inspiring me as an amazing teacher in my life.
