Testimonials

"Chris Sexton is a super-natural musician who is able to communicate clearly and articulate his thoughts and ideas to others. Through the years that I have known him, he has shown me how much of a consistently polite, thoughtful and caring person he is. With his countless experiences as a performer, and with his trustworthy personality, I have no doubt that each student will appreciate the environment and gain tremendous knowledge and experience studying with him.” - Akemi Takayama, Professor of Violin at Shenandoah University, member of Audubon String Quartet, and concertmaster of the Roanoke Symphony
"Chris Sexton is one of those rare teacher/performers who move easily from classical to alternative styles. He has mastered the art of violin playing with a solid background in conservatory training and he applies this high standard to his art. I can recommend him as my former student as an excellent and caring teacher with a vast amount to offer his students." -    - Dr. Kenneth Sarch, Julliard graduate, former Violin Professor at Boston University and Shenandoah Conservatory; current Violin Professor at Mansfield University
