Courses Taught & Curriculums Developed ______
I’ve developed my own new teaching curriculums for most courses. I now have extensive remote learning teaching experience. Here are some specific curriculums I’ve taught.
Recording Arts (Stanford University) Teach Recording Arts at Stanford's world-renowned Center for Computer Research in Music & Acoustics (CCRMA) in summer workshops where I once roamed the hallways as a student.
Audio Production I (University of Colorado Denver) Taught 1st course in the university’s Recording Arts sequence to undergraduate Recording Arts Majors & enthusiasts. Everything from Pro Tools to mic placement/selection to production.
Audio Production II (University of Colorado Denver) Hired to assist Professor Sam McGuire teaching 2nd course in our sequence. Not a standard assistant job; I had entire weeks where I was the sole teacher while Sam completed his book.
Audio Production I Lab (University of Colorado Denver) I’ve taught multiple sections of this course teaching students the basics of Pro Tools, the industry-standard DAW. My FCQs (student evaluations) were 4.75/5. 4.73/5 & 4.43/5.
Pinewood Arts, Communication & Technology Curriculum (Pinewood School) As Pinewood’s ACT Department Head, I was in charge of overseeing our entire curriculum & how the pieces fit together. It’s not unlike producing an album or a show. One highlight: I collaborated & developed a required freshman Humanities course introducing students to the arts, co-taught by me (Music), our Visual Arts teacher & our Drama teacher.
Students Writing And Recording Music (SWARM) — Pinewood School My 1st Recording Arts course. Developed before I knew there was such a thing as a college Recording Arts major! Taught both songwriting & Pro Tools production. Built school studio.
Advanced SWARM: Advanced Composition & Recording (Pinewood School) Advanced composing & producing of original music in the Pinewood Studio + music business.
Western Music History: Too Many Notes (Pinewood School) This course informed everything I did that followed. Here’s why: I studied classical music history in college & became convinced it’s marketed incorrectly today as a bunch of old music for rich snobs rather than as wild masterpieces by the crazy rock stars of their era. I asked Pinewood to add this elective to the schedule. They said no one would sign up. Within 2 years, the course was so popular students couldn’t get in. It was made a Freshman requirement. Parents wrote: “You inspired my son to go to the San Francisco Symphony!” The secret to student engagement was connecting pieces to their composers’ story & purpose. Learning this informed everything I’ve done as a teacher & Dr. Noize, whose albums are character-based musicals challenging kids with sophisticated fare. Students of any age will explore challenging musical puzzles when we remember: People are moved by people, story & purpose. Cory Cullinan Curriculum Vitae (303) 886-8826 Artist | Composer | Producer | Teacher Page 24 of 26 [email protected]
Humanities: Introduction To Western Music History (Pinewood School) This 1/3 of a required Humanities course was created after the Music History elective became too popular. Western Music History subsequently became a follow-up elective to go deeper.
Pinewood Singers: Mixed Choir (Pinewood School) Launched the Pinewood vocal music program which thrives to this day. Went from a ragtag group who could hardly hold pitch the first year to the winners of Disneyland’s Best Overall Choir with the only perfect score of the competition just three years later, competing against schools ten times Pinewood’s size from multiple states. Won a big trophy still up at the school.
The Divas: Girls Choir (Pinewood School) Intro ensemble for girls who were not quite ready for the select Pinewood Singers. Focused on fun & entertaining popular music instead of the advanced repertoire of the Pinewood Singers.
Music Fundamentals: Why Music Rocks (Pinewood School) Interactive music theory & fundamentals course taught with traditional & software methods.
English I taught Middle School English 1 semester at Pinewood (where I taught high school Music) when they were suddenly short a teacher. They asked if anyone would do it & I said yes. Fun!
Grammaropolis (Grammaropolis LLC) I’m the music education specialist, composer & lyricist for the entire series of Grammaropolis albums, videos, apps & web subscription series that’s impacted millions of students worldwide.
Doctor Noize Learning Curriculums (Doctor Noize Inc.) I’ve overseen & created the entire Dr. Noize Learning Adventure series using the Dr. Noize albums & books to teach instruments, character, words, orchestration, music history & more.
Genius Camp Workshop: Write & Record A Song In 90 Minutes (Doctor Noize Inc.) Innovative teaching workshops for the young touring nationwide with Dr. Noize’s Mobile Studio. In this workshop, I write & record a song with my young audience. They help me with instruments, lyrics & vocals. The song is then posted at doctornoize.com for relatives & friends.
Genius Camp Workshop: From Beethoven To Bieber (Doctor Noize Inc,) This workshop can go with or without Symphony Shows. I teach students to hear Sonata Form through Beethoven’s 5th, Contemporary Popular Song Structure through a modern hit… & they discover they’re almost the same thing & the latter is based on the former. Wowza.
Genius Camp Workshop: Learning Adventure Workshops (Doctor Noize Inc,) Workshops based on any combination of the Doctor Noize Learning Adventures & curriculums.
Genius Camp Workshop: Client Requested (Doctor Noize Inc.) Targeted subject workshops on music, lyrics & purpose as requested by clients & schools.
Recording Arts (Reach Studios) I teach individual clients in my 5-room production studio. Personally tailored — Logic, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Sibelius, production, etc. Sometimes done as part of their album production. Cory Cullinan Curriculum Vitae (303) 886-8826 Artist | Composer | Producer | Teacher Page 25 of 26 [email protected]
Songwriting, Composing, Arranging & Orchestrating (Reach Studios) I teach the art of writing & orchestrating music to individual clients at Reach.
Voice (Reach Studios) I teach occasional vocal performance & voice lessons to students at Reach when asked.
Music Business & Marketing (Reach Studios) Some of my production & teaching clients want to learn about business & marketing. I teach them about how the music business works, how to develop websites & marketing, how to make sales & fundraising pitches & more.
Keynote: Demystifying Excellence (Pictoria Creations) My founding Keynote. How the death of my computer-genius teenage brother to brain cancer & my Silicon Valley Mayor father to suicide in the same year in my teens became the unexpected galvanizing inspiration to fearlessly dive into every purpose I’ve set my mind to.
Keynote: Sophistication Matters (Pictoria Creations) A deep passion purpose of mine. An interactive discussion about how — in modern Internet America, with its disposable media & distractions — pursuing sophistication over simplicity builds your soul & purpose & creates an attention span that brings you fulfillment & success.
Keynote: Client Requested (Pictoria Creations) Individually-requested speaking or interactive discussion moderating subjects for any musical or leadership group, adults or kids. I’ve given them for Renaissance Weekend, Stephen Sano and the Stanford Chamber Chorale, Music Teachers Associations & more.
Soccer Coaching: “One Step Ahead” Coaching Philosophy (Pictoria Creations) I studied coaching under the legendary Doc Scheppler, Pinewood’s 6-time CA High School State Champion basketball coach. He let me practice with his team to see how an excellent & inspiring program was run & gave me hours of individual mentoring. I built my soccer coaching curriculum & philosophy on his teachings. It lead to tremendous success & measurable results everywhere I’ve coached. This may seem on the surface superfluous to my music & teaching career, but it’s not — excellence is excellence, & I’ve learned a great deal about inspiring & leading people & productions to high standards through my coaching study & practice.
