James Hill (Canadian musician)

James Hill (born 1980) is a Canadian classically trained musician who has focused on the ukulele, both as his primary instrument and as a method of music instruction for school children.

The British Columbia school used Doane's system to teach music, and as a result, the Langley Ukulele Ensemble came into existence.

[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.

Traveling throughout the world, Hill has played such venues as The Kennedy Center in July 2009[7] and The 40th Ukulele Festival in Hawaii.

[13] Currently Hill lives in Nova Scotia with his wife and touring partner Anne Janelle and their son.
