Morrison’s lectures and courses have been profiled many times in the Montreal Gazette and other publications. In 1993 he was awarded The Distinguished Teaching Award from the McGill Centre For Continuing Education.
"Morrison, noted Montreal musicologist and swell musician, has been teaching everything from the blues to the Beatles for the last 15 years at McGill and Concordia universities as well as more offbeat learning centres like Zeke’s [Gallery]. Morrison not only imparts knowledge on legends...but also plays the classics for his students." - Let’s Spend the Night Together in Stones Class by Bill Brownstein, Montreal Gazette, November 9, 2002.
