New York City is one of the greatest music cities in the world — and thousands of its young people have almost no access to the music education that could change their lives. School arts programs have been cut. Private lessons are out of reach for most families. Youth ensemble opportunities are rare.

Sexton Arts is here to close that gap.

We are a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Calvin Sexton — a professional jazz musician and certified educator with over 20 years of experience teaching and performing in New York City. We offer music lessons, youth ensemble training, and community performances for young people ages 10–18, regardless of their background or their family's income.

We are young, honest about that, and building carefully. Every dollar raised right now goes directly to student access — subsidizing tuition, paying teaching artists, funding rehearsal space, and producing the community concerts that give students a real audience.

Your gift is tax-deductible. Your support is how this work becomes real.
