2016 Pedagogy Award Winner


Megan Kuntz

(Teacher: Margot Hundt)

Megan Kuntz was born and raised in Hanover, ON. She was home-schooled through elementary school and high school, and comes from a family of 11 children. She is thankful to her parents who gave her the opportunity to begin studying piano at 8 years old under Patti Schmidt from Walkerton, ON. It was within these first years of lessons that she knew she wanted to become a piano teacher. She also spent two years studying under David Cotterell from Durham, ON.


She completed her ARCT in Piano Performance in 2011, then went on to study piano pedagogy under Margot Hundt from Hanover, ON. She completed both Elementary and Intermediate Pedagogy certificates, and was very honoured to receive the Regional Gold Medal from the Royal Conservatory of Music for achieving the highest mark in Ontario and Quebec for the Intermediate Pedagogy examinations. She has completed the Advanced Piano Pedagogy program with RCM, writing the written examination in August 2015, and the practical examinations at the end of January 2016.


She enjoys teaching piano at Chesley District Community School, as well as from her home studio. She is also a ballet instructor at the local dance school. In addition to teaching, she also plays the piano at her church and at weddings.


She is passionate about music, and is thrilled to have the opportunity each day to share her knowledge and passion for music with her students.
