Since 2005, Ryu has been actively
instructing piano and music lessons for
beginning to collegeprep level students
ranging from three-years old to adult. In
addition to her experience in teaching piano
privately and in group settings, she has a
firm background in percussion performance
and education. After receiving a Bachelor of
Music in Piano Performance in 2010, Ryu
continued her education at California State
University Fullerton with a Master of Arts
in Piano Pedagogy, projected to complete in
2012. Her seriousness in education study
stems further into a pursuit of a Master of
Science Degree in Education and a Doctorate
in Music. As a performer, Ryu has been taking
private lessons since the age of three and
began performing and competing since she was
seven. She has studied with respected
teachers and professor Kyung-Suk Kwon, Gina
Morton, Sergey Martinchuk, Junghwa Moon Auer
and Alison Edwards. Since 2007, she has been
a member of the CSU Fullerton Wind Symphony
under the guidance of Dr. Mitch Fennell, as
their accompanying pianist. Her recent
pianistic involvement includes activities in
both solo and chamber recitals. In 2010, she
received the first winning prize in both the
Orange Country Barbershop Chorus Scholarship
and Sigma Alpha Iota Scholarship. In
addition to her various achievements and
winnings of her piano studies, she has
earned multiple awards and gold medals
through her percussion career with The
Riverside Community College Percussion
Ensemble and the world-touring Blue Devils
Drum and Bugle Corps. She has been featured
in the March 2006 issue of In Tune Monthly
Magazine.
 Because
Anna is currently a member of MTAC (Music
Teacher's Association of California) and
National Guild of Music Teacher's, her
students are qualified to participate in the
annual CM (Certificate of Merit) and Piano
Guild.
Her teaching philosophy centers around
the concept of allowing flexibility in her
teaching based on the students needs in
order to meet their personal goals as a
musician, and to satisfy a proper
development in the student with a
professional approach.
