Generation 0 · On the path to Rebecca Hardy
David Rostkoski
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.
David Rostkoski is a teacher in the line behind Jody Graves. No dates, nationality, or broader biography are included here, but David is part of the five-person group of teachers whose influence comes together in Jody before reaching Rebecca Hardy.
David has no earlier teacher recorded in this lineage, and Jody is the student recorded after him. His page therefore marks one of the branch’s beginnings: a starting point that joins the personal chain through Jody rather than through a long documented succession of earlier names.
The value of David’s place here is the connection itself. A lineage is not made only of famous performers; it also depends on the teachers whose work is carried into a student’s practice. David’s link to Jody preserves one of those routes into Becky’s musical background.
