Teaching

I have always felt that teaching and sharing knowledge and experience is the sacred obligation of an artist. My life has been so positively impacted by the guidance I have received from so many people over the years and I strongly feel that it’s necessary for me to continue in this tradition and if possible have a positive influence on the lives of younger musicians.

My current and previous teaching activities include:

- Professor of Trombone, Tuba and Musiques Actuelles at Conservatoire d’Aubagne (since 2015)
- Académie des Petites Mains Symphoniques - Director Jazz Orchestra and Brass Department Coordinator (since 2023)
- Ecole de Musique de Frejus - Professor of Trombone, Tuba and Director of Jazz Ensemble (2009-2024)
- Ecole de Musique de La Londe les Maures - Professor of Trombone and Jazz Improvisation (2009-2023)

“Michael Steinman is a gifted and talented trombonist and singer. He is surrounded by top-quality musicians, enabling him to tackle a rich and diverse repertoire. Each time Angel City Players has performed in the Pays Solesmois area, audiences have been enchanted by their performance. Programming him is a guaranteed success”

“I've known Michael Steinman for over fifteen years. The first time I met him was at a commemoration I organized in my village of Eppe Sauvage. Michael was part of a Belgian-American orchestra.
Since then, whenever the opportunity arises, Michael and his orchestra have been a regular fixture at our popular events here in the Avesnois, which attract several thousand people every year.
His performances are always top-notch, of the highest quality and much appreciated by the public. Michael has performed on several occasions as part of the jazz festival organized in the Nord department.
I would add that his smile, American humor and kindness are a plus. ”
