    00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:04.780
>> My name is William Carr
[phonetic], and I am chair and Prof.

    00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:07.660
of music at Immaculata University.

    00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:10.150
I am also a Steinway artist.

    00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:13.200
So I have a performing career with Steinway

    00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:17.020
and I'm on their international roster
of Steinway performing artists.

    00:00:17.020 --> 00:00:23.190
My days are usually filled with lots of
mixture of activities because in addition

    00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:28.510
to being an administrator which is what a chair
is basically doing in terms of the program,

    00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.810
you know you have the degree
programs that we have.

    00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:34.840
We have four undergraduate degrees and
we have a graduate degree in music.

    00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.140
So you know there's lots of
personnel issues and student issues

    00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:40.430
that you have to attend to in that role.

    00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:42.810
In addition I have teaching responsibilities.

    00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:46.030
And I'm always practicing at
least three or four hours a day.

    00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:50.680
So my days are actually long days and they're
usually filled with lots of activities,

    00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:53.630
but different types of activities
which are interesting.

    00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:56.410
You are representing the Steinway name certainly

    00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:59.380
and that's a name that is
linked with excellence.

    00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:02.680
And so consequently I think you know
the concerts that you do you're going

    00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:06.110
to be playing Steinway products
usually a Steinway grand piano.

    00:01:06.110 --> 00:01:12.670
Immaculata University became and all Steinway
school in 2012 which is a wonderful recognition.

    00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:15.860
Schools such as Curtis Institute,
Juilliard School,

    00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:18.620
are part of the Steinway school recognition.

    00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:24.990
And as far as my own relationship with
Steinway, yes, I do concerts and I am you know

    00:01:24.990 --> 00:01:30.880
in many ways-- I'm representing the Steinway
piano company when I do my performances.

    00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.510
So that's an important recognition also.

    00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:36.590
