Memorial Pedagogy Award
CFMTA is pleased to offer a Memorial Pedagogy Award to the candidate who receives the highest mark in the Teacher’s Written Examination of either the Royal Conservatory of Music Advanced or Conservatory Canada.
This award has been established to honour teachers who have been recognized for their contributions to the profession. As a tribute to these teachers, the Pedagogy Award is being offered to a deserving candidate who has recently qualified in this field.
It was initiated upon the passing of Robert Pounder, CFMTA’ first Honorary President from 1975 to 1996.
The applicant must have studied with a current CFMTA/FCAPM teacher and the examination must be from a nationally based teaching institution, which examines in every province (Royal Conservatory of Music / Conservatory Canada).
Along with an official transcript of the Pedagogy Examination mark, the applicant will be required to submit a summary of musical training and interim teaching, which will be considered in the case of a tie.
The Memorial Pedagogy Award will be presented biannually in the non-convention year and will be governed by the Special Projects Convenor. The closing date for applications to be received by the Convenor will be February 15th of the non-convention year, and anyone completing the requirements in the two years prior will be eligible.
