The Orchestra Teacher Podcast – Episode #101 with Dr. Rick Webb

In this episode of The Orchestra Teacher Podcast, we welcome Dr. Richard S. Webb, a distinguished educator, conductor, and scholar in the field of string music education. Dr. Webb shares insights from his journey, from earning degrees in viola performance and music education at Bowling Green State University and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, to his decade of impactful school orchestra teaching and his advanced studies culminating in a Ph.D. from Northwestern University.

Currently an Associate Professor at SUNY Fredonia’s School of Music, Dr. Webb discusses his work as a published scholar, composer, and arranger — including his celebrated arrangements spotlighting the music of Black American composers from the early “pre-jazz” era. He also reflects on his experiences conducting festivals and all-state orchestras nationwide, directing the SUNY-Fredonia Summer Music Festival String Camp, and leading within ASTA as a past-president of the New York chapter.

Join us for a rich conversation about the evolving landscape of string education, historical repertoire for orchestras, and Dr. Webb’s passion for empowering young musicians through innovative teaching and community building.
