I studied music theory with Arlene. I was always amazed with her graceful approach to teaching, measured in its rigor and patience. She always made coming to class a joy, taking the time to form meaningful connections with each of us and giving us the space and support we needed to tackle the difficult subject matter. Even when we showed up to labs unprepared, she would always work with us from wherever we were at and found a way to bring out the best in each student. She was a truly radiant presence and someone who always gave 100% for her students. I will miss her dearly.
Best,
Nick
