Hello! My name is Kelton Burnside and I serve as the Associate Director of Orchestras at Plano East. This is my second year at Plano East and I am so excited to work alongside Mrs. Ann Smith with the PESH Orchestras. Previously, I taught at Schimelpfenig and Hendrick Middles Schools in PISD.
I earned my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY in 2018 and am a member of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA), the American String Teachers Association (ASTA), the Pi Kappa Lambda Music Honor Society, and the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
