Bryan Sanguinito, a proud public school music teacher since 1997, has been sharing his love of string orchestra music with elementary through high school students through teaching, conducting, arranging, and composing. He currently serves as a middle school orchestra teacher in the Reading (PA) School District, where, since 2003, he has taught string students from grades 4-9 in twelve different buildings. Before that, he served for six years as the sole string music instructor in the Nazareth (PA) School District, teaching grades 4-12, while developing and establishing the orchestra program there.

A cum laude graduate of Millersville University in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Bryan pursued his post-secondary studies with the University of the Arts (in Philadelphia). His orchestra students have visited multiple festival sites, including Dorney Park, Six Flags Great Adventure, Busch Gardens, and even Disney World. They have won multiple awards at regional festivals, twice winning the highly coveted Music in the Parks “Esprit de Corps” award, honoring the student group that best embodies the spirit of the festivals.

Bryan has served twice as the guest conductor for the Berks County Sixth Grade String Orchestra Festival. For two decades, he advocated for public school students, teachers, and music programs, ultimately becoming a local and regional education association president, featuring student musicians at every in-person event he hosted, in order to stress to other education professionals the importance and power of music education in our public schools.

Bryan and his wife, Laura, live in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, and are happy cat parents. They thoroughly enjoy traveling (especially to sunny locations), playing trivia, exercising, and discovering new places to eat and foods to try.
