Thanks for his genius creativity and fantastic ability to translate well known music into accessible, charming and stylish musical arrangements for any opportunity for performing live or for recording. A serious student as well as a seasoned professional will be delighted to perform these wonderful arrangements and original compositions.

Because [Michael McLean] is a talented violinist as well as composer and arranger, the pieces are designed to be comfortably played by students of all levels. My students have gained tremendous confidence in their reading and ensemble skills from learning and performing pieces that sound great almost from the first reading.

Michael Mclean is a prolific composer who has given students a treasure of repertoire that augments their understanding of styles, harmonies, and technical skills. Augsburg Suzuki Talent Education has performed his music on every international tour, where his compositions brought delight and soulful reflection to audiences around the world!

Michael brings a high level of integrity, dedication, and depth of knowledge I have rarely witnessed in another teacher, but what really sets him apart is his ability to inspire and motivate students in a profession that demands an extraordinary amount of dedication and thoughtful hard work.

Michael McLean has put my tour group, the Rocky Mountain Strings, on the world stage. His skill level cannot be matched. To have someone arrange music for your string group, who actually is a highly skilled string player and a brilliant arranger, brings the best of all possible abilities to the game.
