Claude E. Gordon (April 5, 1916 - May 16, 1996) was a trumpet player, band director, educator, lecturer, and author. He was born on April 5, 1916 in Helena, Montana. His father was a clarinet player and orchestra director. Claude's mother was a pianist. His siblings were also musically inclined and they formed a family orchestra led by their father. They performed as the staff orchestra for a local radio station. Claude was given his first cornet at the age of five and three years later while in fifth grade he was featured as a soloist playing with the Helena High School Band. While in his early teens, Claude played professionally and taught both cornet and accordion.
