What people are saying about KYLE

I had the privilege of observing Kyle as he masterfully conducted the outstanding final concert of the Advanced Ringing Track at the HMA Seminar in July 2023. Under his leadership, the performance was precise and musical and the ringers were a reflection of Kyle's engaging personality and podium presence. His impressive gesture was efficient and expressive and it clearly communicated his interpretation of the score. It was a joy to observe the results of Kyle's considerable talent and his hard work.

As a lifelong musician, I can say without hesitation that Kyle is one of the finest conductors I have worked with. He is adept at leading ensembles of all sizes, ages, types, and abilities. He is creative, collaborative, and committed to excellence, but never forgets that making music should be joyful!

I loved every minute of ringing under Kyle Webber’s baton in the Advanced Ringing Track! He had a vision for each piece and clearly communicated that vision both verbally and with his conducting. His positive energy, supportive words and musicianship helped our group grow as an ensemble. He has the perfect balance of high expectations and highly effective, organized rehearsal technique along with a relaxed,
self-deprecating manner and sense of humor. I learned a lot about both sides of the table!

I first met Kyle Webber when I was ringing in the Advanced Choir at National Seminar in Irving, TX in July of 2023.  He made rehearsals fun - granted, ringing is always fun, sometimes work, but he directed us with ease and kept us working hard.  If we were doing a technique not quite right, he'd gently remind us, not lecture us like some directors.  We had all the tools, he just helped us use them better.  I looked forward to his rehearsals and playing the music that was chosen.

Kyle Webber is an amazing musician with humility and humor that keep him from taking himself too seriously. Kyle’s musicality comes from deep within and is evident in both his performing and his compositions. As a conductor, Kyle brings a playfulness to rehearsals that never overrides his dedication to musicianship, but, rather, it fosters an environment and communication style through which musicians can create something far greater than the sum of the notes on the page and the people in the room.

Kyle is an excellent handbell clinician and conductor. I participated in an advanced ringing track at a recent event and Kyle was the conductor. He both challenged me as a ringer and made working on the music fun. I benefited greatly from his instruction on technique and I walked away a better musician. He brings out the best in his ringers which in turn brings out the best in the music.
