Ezra Escobar

Teaching

Ezra is a skilled teacher with a wealth of experience teaching children and adults in various settings. At the core of his teaching philosophy is an emphasis on the development of a strong, reliable, and practical technical foundation while preserving individual musicality and a positive and exploratory mindset. Students are guided towards achieving their own personal highest standard of cello playing and a fulfilling, healthy relationship with their instrument, regardless of their skill level. As a performer who has engaged with various genres of music outside classical, including jazz, contemporary, and popular music, a diversity of musical influences are incorporated with the aim of making instrumental learning modern, inclusive, and exciting.

Ezra has taught and led workshops for children ages 0-18 privately and through multiple community music programmes such as the Royal College of Music Sparks programme, the Tri-Borough Music Hub, the Heifetz International Music Institute PEG programme, and the Midwest Young Artists Conservatory Young Music Scholars. As a part of the Jasmine Quartet, he has presented chamber music workshops for pupils ranging from nursery to Year 9 at King Solomon Academy & Leighton Park School. He currently serves on the strings faculty of Musicale St. Albans and as Programme Operations Manager for HMDT Music’s Saturday Programme at Bridge Academy in Hackney.
