About Me

Avant-garde tuba player currently based out of Tokyo

Bill is an active performer, author, clinician and arts advocate. With a performance background as diverse as his audience, Bill maintains a schedule of over two hundred public performances a year in venues across North America, South Korea, Japan, Haiti and more. Bill is the author of A Practical Approach Brass Pedagogy Book. In the month of its release, A Practical Approach was one of the bestselling books on Apple's iBookstore Music Book Charts, topping the Beatles Songbook and the popular Real Book. A Practical Approach has also been fully translated into Japanese. In 2012, Bill toured to all 47 prefectures in Japan promoting his book with Blast, Kyodo Tokyo and BrassTribe Magazine. Along with A Practical Approach, Bill is also a contributing author of pedagogy materials to the International Tuba-Euphonium Association and has presented as a clinician and soloist at the ITEA Midwest Conference. Bill's works have also been featured in Brass Musician Magazine, The New Times and Poland's Brasserwis Magazine. Bill's debut solo album “Off Script” has labeled him a new driving force in the avant-garde and experimental music scene. “Muter is the most innovative tuba player we have seen. He has the potential to do for the tuba what Louis Armstrong did to the trumpet” - New Times. Bill is also involved in the pageantry arts. For five years, Bill toured with the Tony and Emmy Award winning Broadway Show Blast as a tuba soloist, “yellow tutu guy” and percussionist. Bill is highly sought after marching band clinician and has worked with numerous organizations including the Boston Crusaders and Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps.
