Performances conducted by him have consistently drawn praise from composers, performing musicians, and critics alike for their insightful, inspired, and cohesive realizations, and for their imaginative programming. Ensembles conducted by Hill have recorded for composers, publishers, and National Public Radio, and have appeared "in concert" on PBS and CBS television ·networks As a guest conductor and clinician, appearances in ten countries and twenty-six states have included performances with myriad high school honor bands, numerous college and university wind bands and orchestras, at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic, and at the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles' inaugural conference. During the last ten years, he has presented over fifty workshops on conducting and rehearsal technique for instrumental teachers of all levels and has served as a clinician for more than eight hundred bands and orchestras.

This has lead to innovations in nonverbal modes of teaching from the podium and in the approach to the process of conducting. As the director of Arizona State University's Digital Conducting Laboratory, Hill is involved with the investigation of digital technologies applicable to the teaching of conducting. A native of Michigan, Hill earned degrees in music education and wind instruments from the University of Michigan.
