Sean Pullen has earned distinguished recognition as a choral conductor, clinician, choral composer/arranger and singer. Since 2012, he has been privileged to be the Director of Choral Activities at the West Texas A&M University School of Music. The WT choirs under his direction have appeared on stage at the Texas Music Educators Association conventions in 2016 and 2024, and for the Southwest American Choral Directors Association Graduate Conductors competition in 2022. 

As a choral pedagogue, he has been awarded twice by the Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities for his instructional contributions. He is frequently called upon as a clinician and adjudicator for festivals and contests throughout the United States. His writing is published in two volumes of Teaching Music Through Performance in Choir, by GIA publications.

Pullen has served at two other posts during his conducting career. He began in 1998 at Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas, where the Symphonic Chorale earned invitations to perform for the Texas Music Educators Association in 2004 and 2007 and the American Choral Directors Association in 2005 and 2009. In the fall of 2009, he began collegiate work at Abilene Christian University, where his choirs were privileged to be invited to sing for the Ascending Voice Symposium in Malibu, California. 

Since 2017, in collaboration with the West Texas A&M University Symphony Orchestra, the WT choirs have annually produced PBS and CBS broadcasted performances of The Sounds of the Season. Several of Pullen’s choral arrangements have been performed for these concerts and for conferences in Texas and Oklahoma.

Pullen lives in Canyon, Texas with his wife Amanda. They are the proud parents of Megan, who is a student at Harvard College and Jenna, who is a student at Canyon High School.
