About Kealing Classical Guitar
The Kealing Middle School Guitar Program is a classical guitar organization located at Kealing Middle School in Austin ISD. It was founded in 2012 under the direction of Ms. Jeni Berecek, and is now directed by Ms. Madeline Horrell.
Kealing Guitar has consistently won top ratings at area contests and festivals since its inception, and is proud to be one of many strong guitar programs in Austin ISD. Two year-round classes are offered each year, Beginning Guitar, which focuses on the foundations of classical guitar technique and ensemble skills, and Advanced Guitar, which dives more deeply into musicianship and refining technique through higher-level repertoire.
