He has served as a church musician, minister of music, music professor and has now added author to his list of accomplishments. Recognizing that many musicians need to and wish to be able to play traditional hymns and gospel songs but are not able to do so because of their inability to read music, Mr. Taylor has written a manual to enable these musicians in their work. The manual, "Modern Chord Changes to Favorite Hymns" provides a vehicle for musicians to learn the chords and progressions that will revolutionize their ability to enhance their natural talent in music. The manual has been showcased at the prestigious Hampton University Ministers' Conference and Choir Guild and the Gospel Music Workshop of America and was well received.
