Peter R. Webster is the John Beattie Professor of Music Education at the Bienen School of Music, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He holds degrees in music education from the University of Southern Maine (BS) and the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester (MM, PhD). He has taught in the pubic schools of Maine, Massachusetts, and New York; following fourteen years of teaching at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, he moved to Northwestern in 1988. He has held various administrative positions in his career, including a term as Associate Dean at the Bienen School. He currently serves as Chair of the Department of Music Studies which includes the programs of music education, musicology/ethnomusicology, music theory/cognition, technology, and composition. His teaching responsibilities currently include courses in philosophy of music education, undergraduate and graduate research, music technology, assessment, and creative thinking in music. He supervises the doctoral program in music education and is the recipient of many grants, including a landmark award from the National Association of Music Merchants to study the influence of music experiences on adult creativity in non-music fields. Webster has presented at many state, national, and international meetings and is a frequent keynote speaker. His published work includes over 75 articles and book chapters on technology, music education practice, and creative thinking in music which have appeared in journals and handbooks in and outside of music. He is an editorial board member for several prestigious journals and has severed as an editor for several projects, including the new MENC Handbook of Research on Music Learning published by Oxford University Press. Webster is co-author of Experiencing Music Technology, 3rd edition Undated (Cengage, 2008), the standard textbook used in introductory college courses in music technology. He is the author of Measures of Creative Thinking in Music, an exploratory tool for assessing music thinking using quasi-improvisational tasks. He and his wife Connie Webster are avid sailors on the Great Lakes and own Maine Sail, a 42-foot Catalina sloop.

Measure of Creative Thinking in Music (MCTMII), a set of standardized activities designed to assess the musical imagination of young children. MCTM is sent at cost to music teachers and researchers in this country and abroad. To date, over 35 copies of MCTM and its Manual have been shipped. In addition to my own research work with this measure, five independent studies have been published that use MCTM.
