Hello! My name is Kelton Burnside and I serve as the Associate Director of Orchestras at Plano East. This is my fifth year teaching in Plano ISD and fourth year at Plano East. I previously taught at Hendrick and Schimelpfenig middle schools.

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. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in music education from Southern Methodist University.
