About

I am a Venezuelan-American pianist, producer and educator playing/teaching a wide variety of genres and styles. I have over 7 years experience teaching students of all ages, from children to adults, and of all levels, from beginners to professionals. All services available in English and Spanish. I strive to provide my students with the knowledge and skills to self-actualize their musical ideas. Curriculums are made-to-order according to each students individual abilities and musical goals. I love exploring a wide variety of musical styles, from classical, jazz, salsa, all the way to hip-hop, and I hope to instill that same appreciation in my students. As a performer I cater to the tastes and preferences of my contractors, providing a quality experience.

I decided to start taking voice lessons again after 10+ years. Jose have made this decision worth every minute. He is very easy and fun to work with. He's also patient and I feel more comfortable singing again after every lesson with him. Everything takes practice and he makes this learaning process awesome.

Ben is willing to jump in and roll with any changes- all while mastering all the music I have ever asked him to play. He takes direction well and is always on time and prepared!

I worked with Jose for 3 years during our time together at Eastman. As an accompanist, his insights into the poetic, dramatic, and musical aspects into any vocal piece presented to him were always incredibly well informed and creative. He often pushed me to push the envelope of complacency and raised my standards for quality musicianship. This desire to push boundaries is echoed in his compositions, which stands as a testimony for his technical and engineering prowess. His earnest, hard working attitude is matched only by his depth of musical expression, intuition, and technique. His range of keyboard styles and technique would always astound me during our time together. Any project, musical or non-musical, that Jose is a part of always thrives. He remains to this day the hardest working high talent musician I have ever known. If you want the highest caliber of music, you need Jose Benjamin Escobar.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For lessons we would first set up a consultation (at a coffee shop or over the phone) to discuss your favorite music, your musical history, and your goals. We could then have a trial lesson for 1/2 off where I would assess what you already know, and how I can best teach you. At which point, we could then schedule a regular weekly lesson time and devise a payment plan. All the best! Jose Look forward to working with You!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold two Bachelor of Science Degrees in Piano Performance and Musical Arts from the internationally renowned Eastman School Of Music, where I also specialized in Electronic Music composition and installation.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been playing the piano and performing since I was four years old. Teaching became a way of manifesting my own musical career when I was in highschool, and I've come to enjoy the art of teaching, finding it as fulfilling as the performance and installation work I do.
