Generation 0 · On the path to Rebecca Hardy
Wayland Redden
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.
Wayland Redden is an American teacher in the branch behind Frances Hildebrand. No dates are included here, but Wayland’s place in the lineage is direct: Wayland is one of Frances’s four recorded teachers, and Frances’s teaching continues forward to Rebecca Hardy.
Wayland has no earlier teacher recorded in this lineage, so this page marks one of the branch’s starting points. Frances is the student recorded after Wayland, creating a clear path from Wayland to Frances and then to Rebecca.
Wayland’s wider musical biography still needs its own fuller account. The connection already shown here is nevertheless part of Becky’s inheritance: a teacher whose influence is carried into Frances’s work and then into the next generation.
