Iuvenis musicae attentus, ab Carolo Ives compositore incluto (qui patri fidem de damno resarciendo interpositam vendebat) excitatus est.

Apud universitatem, acroasibus professorum Gualterius Piston, Gustavus Holst, et aliorum professorum musicae facultatis adfuit. In Harvard Glee Club cecinit.

Gradu A.M. in musica anno 1932 accepto, Lutetiam (sicut multi Americani illius temporis) ivit ut Nadiae Boulanger discipulus fiat. Musicae cum ea studuit annis 1932–1935, et doctoratum in musica (D.

Die 6 Iulii 1939, Carter Helenam Frost-Jones duxit, et eis natus est unus filius, David Chambers Carter. Per secundum bellum mundanum, Carter in Office of War Information laboravit. Deinde docuit in Conservatorio Peabody (1946–1948), Universitate Columbiana, Collegio Reginae (1955–1956), Universitate Yalensi (1960–1962), Universitate Cornell (a 1967) et Schola Juilliard (a 1972).
