Mr. Steven J Kunka, Director

Hello, my name is Mr. Kunka! I am a graduate of James Madison University where I earned my Bachelor of Music in Music Education. This is my second year teaching at James River High School!

Before working at James River HS, I taught at Thomas Dale High School (TDHS) in Chester, VA from 2016 - 2021. I enjoyed teaching a variety of music classes including Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Piano Lab, and Guitar. I am proud to have chartered the Technology Assisted Music program at TDHS, as well as create the Tech Music 2 course for Chesterfield County!

I am passionate about music theory and composition and enjoy creating music in my spare time. I enjoy working on all sorts of projects around the house, and wrenching my 90’s BMWs and boats that keep me busy on the weekends. I live in Bon Air with my wife, young daughter, and chocolate lab, Madison.
