I want to deeply thank you, Cory, and CCRMA for one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever been blessed with. I have never encountered a more passionate, supportive, and talented group of people. More than ever I feel comfortable leaning into my career as a musician and who I want to be as a person, and that is in great part thanks to the program and environment you created for all of us. Being surrounded by such a vast array of styles and human beings made me feel at peace and at home, and I cannot ever thank you enough for that.

Cory is an outstanding teacher. Besides having a strong grasp and background in his subject, his engaging spirit and passion provide a strong connection with his students. He lights that fire within each student. He has developed lifelong relationships with all because of his compassionate nature. Add to that his phenomenal sense of fun and frivolity, every class is an adventure, a happening event that any student will just love. An absolutely amazing educator!

Thank you for being an open door to each of us. Through your passion I’ve been able to nurture my creative spirit. Speaking of spirits, you always know how to lift them up, with every note, every joke, and every word of encouragement you give. I look forward to continuing this musical journey with you next semester.

Cory was a great teacher.

We love Cory and his energetic attitude. He’s always ready to teach us something new. Dr. Noize cares about his students and how they feel.

Cory is an interesting teacher and makes learning fun.

What was most helpful was exploring the studio space and exploring ways to record in unique ways in unique spaces…

Probably my favourite online course I’ve taken in a schooling environment simply because the environment that Cory created was so conducive to being open, friendly, thinking with precision and really doing things on your own to learn for yourself.

Cory is a beacon of light in the dark abyss that is higher education.We should build a statue of him in the courtyard honestly. Maybe put a dog like a husky or something next to him too and have them both looking off in the direction of the Rockies majestically, and have a built-in fountain that shoots water out their eyes like laser beams.

Cory was one of my favorite instructors. I looked forward to his class every Friday, and sometimes knowing that this class was at the end of the week helped to keep me motivated in my other courses throughout the week. Cullinan was really effective in helping keep our spirits up and to keep smiling. He would take breaks from the text book to give us more creative and real-world assignments which helped me get a genuine feel for how things occur in this field even through remote learning. I also really enjoyed when he would let students share their work in class; it allowed us to encourage each other and connect on a deeper level than some of my other courses.
