American composer, organist and pianist of great repute, William Albright began learning the piano at an early age of five. He progressed quickly in his studies showing immense talent as a performer and composer. He attended the Juilliard Preparatory Department(1959-62), the Eastman School of Music(1962-3) and the University of Michigan (1963-70) where his principal teacher was former department chair Ross Lee Finney. Though his works are crafted concisely, he stressed the value of music as a form of communication and the supremacy of music of intuition, imagination and beauty of sound.
