Generation 17 · The subject of this lineage
Rebecca Hardy
No citation is recorded for this person. That means undocumented, not doubtful — the person was on the 2010 chart and has been neither confirmed nor refuted since.
Rebecca Hardy is an American pianist born in 1989. She is the point toward which this lineage is traced, and her musical story begins with the three teachers who shaped her: Jody Graves, Marilyn Brossard, and Frances Hildebrand.
Rebecca stands at the living end of several connected lines of piano teaching. The teachers behind Jody, Marilyn, and Frances reach back through performers, composers, and teachers from the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries, while the three routes remain distinct as they come forward to her. No student is recorded after Rebecca, so the page ends where the lineage currently comes together.
For Becky and for the students who learn from her, this is less a list of names than a map of musical inheritance. Each of the three immediate teachers contributes a different branch, and the pages linked above are the places to begin following those branches backward through the people who taught them.
