About the
Musician
Sean Pastorok has been teaching martial arts since he was 16 years old. The life lessons and fundamental qualities of a black belt that he has made a part of his life are what he strives to provide all of his students. He combined his passion for music with his love for teaching that he developed through martial arts.
Sean, just like many of his students, started playing the cello in elementary school and continued all throughout grade school and college. He studied Music Education at West Chester University and graduated in 2017. He founded, directed, and arranged KIGAKU, the first student string ensemble at WCU. Before he graduated, KIGAKU put on five successful themed concerts that supported local musicians and promoted the exposure of contemporary string music. While student teaching in the Council Rock School District, he was offered and accepted an instrumental teaching position prior to graduating. Sean returned to West Chester University and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Music Performance: Orchestral Conducting in 2024.
Sean was the orchestral director of various schools spanning 3rd-12th grade. These schools include:
(2018) Council Rock School District (3rd-6th Grade) - LTS
(2018-2019) Lower Moreland Township School District (9th-12th Grade) - LTS
(2019-2021) Coatesville Area School District (6th-12th Grade)
(2022) Owen J. Roberts School District (K-6th Grade) - LTS
