Cyan Duong

Cyan Duong (she/her) is a percussionist and educator based in Seattle, Washington. Earning her bachelor's degree in Music Education in the spring of 2027 from the University of Washington, she studies percussion with Bonnie Whiting.

Starting off her career strong, she had the pleasure and utmost pleasure of working with the Juneau Symphony Orchestra in October 2025 and performing in Cascade PBS’ “An Evening with Ken Burns” with Tim Salzman’s Wind Ensemble. She also had the pleasure of working with the Seattle Festival Orchestra. At the University of Washington, Cyan performs regularly with the UW Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble.

Cyan was inspired to become a great music educator by her older brother, who first introduced her to percussion. Ever since then, she has taught local drumline camps, worked one-on-one with percussion students from grades 6 through 12, and has just finished up her part-time student teaching at a local private elementary school where she was teaching general music. Her love for education is her spark, and she is very excited to follow this path.

In her off time, Cyan is usually found working as a photographer and videographer with the UW School of Music and the Husky Marching Band Drumline. She aspires to see all of life’s beauties.
