He earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of British Columbia. Music educationAs a child, Hill benefited from a ukulele instructional program created by J. Chalmers Doane as shared in Teacher's Guide to Classroom Ukulele, 1977. The British Columbia school used Doane's system to teach music, and as a result, the Langley Ukulele Ensemble came into existence. Hill participated in the ensemble for over ten years.[1] Hill envisioned creating a program to help spread this instrument and upon meeting Doane, they collaborated to create the "Ukulele in the Classroom" program in 2008.[2] Hill seldom makes a concert appearance without also conducting workshops. He has taught throughout Canada[3] and the United States, as well as in Europe, Japan, Singapore[4] and New Zealand.[5][6] He regularly lectures at the Queen's School of Music in Kingston, Ontario and has been a guest instructor at the Ukulele and Slack Key Guitar Institute held in Waimea, Hawaii each year. PerformancesTraveling throughout the world, Hill has played such venues as The Kennedy Center in July 2009[7] and The 40th Ukulele Festival in Hawaii.[8] He appeared at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain in summer 2013.[9] Hill plays a variety of ukuleles; he has several Mike DaSilva custom made ukuleles, all with spruce tops, as well as a Mya Moe Tenor and a Beltona Resonator.[10] AwardsIn 2009, Hill collaborated with Anne Janelle (formerly Anne Davison) on cello and created the CD True Love Don't Weep. The Album won the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards Traditional Album of the Year.[11] In 2015, his album "The Old Silo" was nominated for the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo.[12] Personal lifeCurrently Hill lives in Nova Scotia with his wife and touring partner Anne Janelle. They were married on 21 September 2013.[13] Discography
