Early education and mentors
Hardin was first introduced to piano lessons by Violet White, her third-grade teacher. Her mother had previously enrolled her in Mrs. Hook's School of Music. She received more advanced education and a Fisk University diploma in 1917, returning to Memphis. She and her mother and stepfather immigrated to Chicago in August 1918. By then, she had developed the skills necessary to land a job as a sheet music interpreter at Jones Music Store.
Hardin's earnings per week (US$54 in 2021 dollars), but bandleader Lawrence Duhé was paid $22.50 (US$405 in 2021 dollars). She was told that her mother would not approve of her doing in a cabaret that her mother was aware of, and that her new job was with a dance academy. The differences between her education and that of Duhé's band members were evident; when she asked what the New Orleanians were going to play in, they said, "We don't know what primary." When you hear two knocks starting playing, you should start laughing." The band rescheduled to a more popular venue in De Luxe Café, where the entertainers included Florence Mills and Cora Green. The band grew to Dreamland from there. Alberta Hunter and Ollie Powers were the principal entertainers here. When King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band replaced Duhé's group at Dreamland, Oliver asked Hardin to stay with him. In 1921, she was with Oliver at Dreamland when the orchestra was offered to perform a six-month performance at the Perpeta Ballroom in San Francisco. Hardin returned to Chicago after the show, while the remainder of the Oliver band headed to Los Angeles. She later studied at the New York College of Music, where she earned a post-graduate diploma in 1929.
