As college students in November of 1998, Caleb Chapman and Alison Glenn launched a small music school in American Fork, Utah, named the Crescent School of Music. Housed in a tiny brick building, the school embarked with a handful of private instructors and just over 50 students.

Today, the Soundhouse is recognized as the national leader in musician training and has dramatically impacted the lives of the thousands of musicians who have participated. The Soundhouse bands are designed for musicians ages 8-18 and span a wide variety of styles from soul to swing, rock to reggae, country to cool jazz, and funk to fusion.

Across the country, top-tier colleges actively seek alumni from the award-winning Soundhouse Contemporary Music Program — and alumni of the Soundhouse program can be found in chart-topping bands like Imagine Dragons, The Moth & The Flame, the Strike, Redlight King, and Mondo Cozmo, to name a few. More importantly, over the last decade, nearly every one of our high school seniors have received college scholarships for music and/or academics with an average total of well over $1M in scholarship offers annually. Thousands of former Soundhouse musicians now lead successful careers in business, law, medicine, technology, and other fields of impact. Former Soundhouse musicians have graduated from top music schools including Juilliard, Berklee College of Music, the New England Conservatory, University of Southern California, University of Miami, University of North Texas, and Eastman School of Music, along with other premier universities.

In response to the global pandemic, the Soundhouse launched a revolutionary platform featuring online rehearsals and performances by virtual bands — assembled with members worldwide and produced by GRAMMY-caliber artists with a spectrum of styles, including Gordon Goodwin, Sean Jones, Karl Hunter, and Wayne Bergeron.
