Welcome to the Personal Website for
Peter Richard Webster

Greetings and welcome to my little part of cyberspace!

I am employed as the John Beattie Professor of Music Education and Music Technology at the Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

I teach courses in music education and in music technology on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I am the student teaching coordinator and advise PhD students in music education. I am very interested in children's creative thinking in music and in the appropriate use of music technology for music teaching and learning. I do research and write extensively in these fields as well as offer papers and workshops both nationally and internationally. I continue to play my trumpet as much as time allows and am an avid concert goer and iPod user. Click on the links to the right for more biographical information.

My hobbies include sailing, biking and reading novels. I've been known to enjoy a good meal or two in area Chicago eateries before a night of theatre and wouldn't turn down a glass of good Irish or Scotch whiskey and a good cigar.
