Rotarians were entertained and enlightened by the day’s featured speaker, Dr. Quinton Morris, Associate Professor of violin and chamber music at Seattle University. Dr. Morris is one of two black tenured college level instructors in the U.S... His remarks were preceded by a lovely violin solo.
When he is not teaching, or performing from China to Carnegie Hall, Dr. Morris is inspiring young people in underserved communities with “world-class” music instruction, while supporting their development as self-aware leaders.
In 2017, he founded a non-profit program, Key to Change Studio (www.keytochangestudio.org), to inspire underserved youth with music instruction. “Underserved students in South King County can get exposure to well-known musicians who help them achieve whatever they want to do,” he said. “We focus on schools, teachers, and parents looking for after school activities. We encourage teachers to work with us as we demonstrate how to develop healthy long-term relationships with students.”
