Hello! My name is Kelton Burnside and I serve as the Associate Director of Orchestras at Plano East. I'm very excited to be in my third year at Plano East and 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.
