“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.”
— Sean Guenther, Stanford Recording Arts Workshop Student
Cory heads to Stanford University each summer to teach the Recording Arts program there. Our innovative program gives students 24-hour-a-day access to the studio at Stanford’s legendary Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Students have gone on to become recording artists, Disney Audio Imagineers, and college professors developing their own Recording Arts programs.
The program quickly bonds students into a diverse ensemble creating an album and supporting each other while they develop recording skills and techniques. Students range from college music professors to professionals to undergrads, from South Korea to San Jose. Stanford Workshop recordings have had international professional success and impact. There’s no other program like it. Hear them below!

Stanford’s special to Cory. His undergrad Advisor, music legend John Chowning, developed FM synthesis. The “Father of Electronic Music,” Max Mathews, roamed the hallways. Cory was Co-Chair of his last Stanford Reunion; Social Media Director of Stanford’s most attended Reunion ever; and a Stanford STARS Assembly member for top graduate leaders and volunteers. Join us this summer at Stanford!
