“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.”
— Adan Menchu Cruz, Regis University Undergraduate Student
As Regis’ full time Director of Recording Arts & Music Technology, Cory taught Recording Arts & Live Production, introductory Music classes, ran Regis’ $5 million concert venue Claver Recital Hall, and wrote and performed music with his students. He just kept talkin’ so nobody noticed he barely knew what he was talking about.
Every semester, Cory’s Recording Arts students became campus stars by recording an album and putting on a concert of their work. Within a year, he had more students in his classes than the department had Music Majors. See our last concert above and our albums below!
- Recording Arts 1 Volume 1: Made In The Stu
- Recording Arts 1 Volume 2: Anything and Everything
- Recording Arts 2 Volume 1: Disarray
- Recording Arts 1 Volume 3: The Ambassadors Of Jazz
- Recording Arts 3 Volume 1: April
With small class sizes, Cory was known for giving students incredibly personalized attention at Regis’ beautiful campus in Denver. He was infamous for spending the final two weeks of each semester all day and night in the Regis Studio helping students wrap up their mixes for the final class album. Music Majors and non-Majors alike were invited to take the Recording Arts sequences of courses! Here’s another class concert for nostalgia’s sake:
