On the date of the commencement for Floyd's Bachelor of Music, May 30, 1948, he was the youngest in the class, 2 days shy of turning 19.

• 1949: Grand Winner, National Guild of Piano Teachers Young Artist Competition, Town Hall, New York City.

• 1952: The 1949 National Guild Award led to a sponsored formal New York solo recital debut at Town Hall, which occurred Wednesday, 8:30 PM, April 9, 1952. Schonberg, then a music critic for the New York Times, attended Floyd's performance and wrote a favorable review the next day.

Floyd, under the management of impresario Norman Joseph Seaman (1923–2009), performed again at Town Hall, April 5, 1963.

In the 1970s, Floyd established a multimedia performance group, the Stereopticon, that was supported by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Cambridge, England: International Biographical Centre, a division of Melrose Press Ltd Note: This publication has been criticized for a lack of accuracy, objectivity, and omissions. However, for the purpose of identifying aspects of Floyd's career, the biographical information jibes with, and provides sort of a composite of other sources. As is the case with this and other "Who's Who" publications, a consensus of Wikipedia editors suggest that one should neither (i) infer notability from such publications, nor (ii) rely solely on them for biographical facts.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: postscript (link) ISBN 0-9003-3277-8, 978-0-9003-3277-7.
