    About Taylor

    Taylor is the most musically eclectic and rockiest Monkey Rocker. He has always been fascinated with all types of music and both plays and teaches everything from Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Fusion, Funk and more!  He's been playing the guitar for over 7 years and like most Monkey Rockers is about to complete his Bachelor of Music with honours. Taylor is also interested in different facets of music, and plans to get a second minor in Psychology before moving onto a graduate degree in Music Cognition specializing in research on musical development in children. This is not his first time teaching young children in music, he spent years at a musical summer camp and now does private classes.

    Not only interested in music. Taylor is passionate about Science (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Astronomy, Medicine) and Languages as well. He is fluently bilingual in English and French and has even studied and speaks ASL, Latin and German (his family’s native tongue). One of Monkey Rock Music’s newest and biggest advocates, Taylor often raves to everyone her meets that the absolute ‘best way in the world’ to get your day started is clowning around, educating and learning from the kids in his Monkey Rock classes!
