Claude Herndon ( )

“Claude Herndon Jr. had an enormous impact on all who came into contact with him. A shy man. A studious and introspective man. A man who possessed great insight about his pupils. A refined and gentle man who had a deep love and respect for music. Finally, a man of great integrity…” —Michael Salzman Taken from the compilation Mosaic of Our Teacher, 2003
