My name is Susan Hasegawa, and I was Arlene’s piano student just before her retirement. My parents and I had just visited her this past June after my graduation, so we were shocked and saddened to hear the news.
Arlene was such a fantastic teacher and advisor, and I am so grateful that I could get to know her and learn from her during this time. From my private lessons through AMP and piano lab time during music theory, some of my favorite memories in college were the moments I spent with her. I will miss her very dearly.
I have also attached two pictures that I took with Arlene. One is in 2018 when I first met Arlene, and the other is in 2022 when I saw her after graduation.
Thank you,
Susan
