Dr. Hill’s scholarship pertains to musicianship and how it manifests across differing contexts, including investigations of choral conducting-teaching practices that center audiation development, “boundary-crossing” or multi-musical individuals, and co-writing practices among professional songwriters in Nashville.

Dr. Hill also frequently serves as a guest conductor/clinician and offers professional development for practicing teachers. A composer and songwriter, Dr. Hill’s choral compositions are published by Hinshaw Music, which just inaugurated the Stuart Chapman Hill composer series, and G. Schirmer.
