This page best viewed with Firefox Web Browser!Hello, my name is Kevin. I am a recording artist / music instructor living in the Flower Mound, Lewisville area of Texas. I own and operate a successful music school (Schaelling Music Studios) and for the past six years was the guitar instructor at Tarrant County College in Arlington, Texas. In the past, I have toured the world with my USO rock/pop band and have played in several country bands in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The music you hear on this page is my current passion.
Kevin's songs skillfully combine the sounds of three and four part guitar work, infectious melody and rhythm, heavy Latin percussion, and a touch of jazz.
20th CENTURY GUITAR MAGAZINE REVIEW
"A master of the nylon string guitar who combines the most sonically pleasing aspects of Flamenco, pop instrumental, classical and guitar based smooth jazz, Texas based guitarist Kevin Schaelling made quite a favorable impression with his self-produced album "The Rain in Spain". While living in Texas Schaelling was greatly influenced by the art of Flamenco guitar sounds and the net result is one of the years most relaxing and serene recordings of acoustic guitar jazz."
