The Lux Choral Society presents
Monthly courses in music theory, choral history, and vocal technique — open to Lux singers and the broader community. Whether you’re just learning to read music or ready to go deeper, there’s a place for you here.
The Lux Choral Society has always believed that the most transcendent musical experiences come from singers who understand what they’re doing — not just emotionally, but technically. Choir School was built on that conviction.
Over eight monthly sessions, you’ll build real skills: reading music, understanding harmony, tracing the history of the choral tradition, and working directly with some of Utah County’s finest vocal coaches. These aren’t lecture-hall classes. They’re hands-on, intimate, and designed to make you a better musician.
Open to Lux members, singers from other choirs, and anyone in the community who wants to grow. No audition required. Just come ready to learn.
Course 1 — Theory, Aural Skills & Choral History
Once a month · 8 sessions
One accelerated track, open to all levels. We start from the ground up — reading music, rhythm, scales, intervals — and move quickly through harmony, voice leading, counterpoint, and score analysis. Beginners get a clear on-ramp. Intermediate singers can drop into any session where they want to fill in gaps. By May, you’ll have a working framework for understanding what you sing and why it moves people. Instructor: Leland Spindler
Course 2 — Vocal Master Class
Once a month · 8 sessions
Each month, a different local vocal coach leads a small-group master class. Part of the session is group instruction; the other part is individual coaching — students who want direct feedback come prepared with a piece. Skill levels vary and are welcome. This is where technique meets performance. Rotating guest coaches
Small groups - These aren’t large lectures. Classes are kept intentionally small so every session is a real conversation, not a performance.
Community is the point - We’re advertising to Lux members and singers from choirs across Utah County. You’ll learn alongside people who share your passion for choral music.
Flexible commitment - Register for individual classes, a full series, or everything. Come to what works for your schedule — each session is designed to stand on its own.
Held in American Fork - All classes take place in a home in American Fork, Utah — a relaxed, welcoming space that fits the spirit of what we’re building here.
