Hailed by a 2nd grade classroom as “wreely nice and kind” and “the coolest man on erth,” Taylor Morris enjoys blurring the lines between violin and fiddle. Eagerly collaborating across musical genres, he has performed in 48 states and 13 countries as an alumnus of the Canadian world-music troupe Barrage, with duo partner Tricia Park, with chamber-folk string sextet The Sound Accord, or as a soloist. Offstage, Taylor obtained a master's in education from Harvard University and teaches nationally as a guest educator and clinician. He co-founded/co-directs the Gilbert Town Fiddlers (an extracurricular high school group), serves as a guest lecturer at Arizona State University, and runs a summer camp for young musicians called StringPlay. In his private studio, he teaches classical violin and fiddle tunes to students of all ages and abilities.
