Mrs. Kietzman

Welcome!

The 23/24 school year begins my 19th year of teaching and my 16th year at Pickford Public Schools! Pickford Bands have established a tradition of excellence and I am excited for that to continue into this school year. We have very exciting things in store for us!

I am originally from Charlotte, MI, near Lansing. I received my Bachelor of Music Education degree in 2004 from Central Michigan University. I attended American Band College of Sam Houston State University and received my Master of Music degree in 2010.

This year I will be teaching kindergarten through fourth grade music, fifth grade band, sixth grade band, middle school band, and high school band.
