The Choir School at St. Peter’s is made up of five choirs: The Boys Touring Choir, The Girls Touring Choir, The Boys Town Choir, The Girls Town Choir and The MasterSingers at St. Peter’s. The boys and girls who join the choir love to sing, enjoy excellence and a challenge and want to be part of a team. Their parents believe music education is important, want unique performance and travel opportunities for their child and value poise, etiquette and discipline.

The Boys Touring Choir

The Boys Touring Choir at St. Peter’s is primarily a performing ensemble with a significant education component. In a highly structured environment, the gentlemen of the choir, ages approximately 9 to voice-change, prepare music for traditional Episcopal worship services, concerts and tours. Most boys come to the Touring Choir after developing music reading skills in the Town Choir.

The Girls Touring Choir

The Girls Touring Choir at St. Peter’s is primarily a performing ensemble with a significant education component. Originally patterned after the Boys Touring Choir, the Girls Choir has taken on a character of its own. It remains highly structured but with a more universal sense of mentoring from older girls to younger. With excellence as their common goal, the girls of the choir take pride in caring for each other while mastering the various disciplines that the music requires. The girls also prepare music for traditional Episcopal worship services, concerts and tours and most come to the Touring Choir after developing music reading skills in the Town Choir.

The Boys Town Choir

The Boys Town Choir allows young boys who enjoy singing the opportunity to develop musical and vocal skills while being part of a team of other boys working towards a common goal. In addition to musical and vocal skills, fine choral singing requires teamwork and self-discipline. All of these are taught in the Boys Town Choir. As the boys’ skills develop, they are encouraged to audition for and join the touring choir.

The Girls Town Choir

The Girls Town Choir allows young girls an opportunity to develop musical skills, vocal skills and the self-discipline required for choral singing. As in the Boys Town Choir, skills are taught through a variety of methods to make learning fun as well as effective. Repertoire is carefully selected to enhance vocal and musical development. As the girls’ skills develop, they are encouraged to audition for and join the touring choir.

The MasterSingers

The MasterSingers at St. Peter’s is composed primarily of Boys and Girls Choir graduates, but is also open to teenagers from the community with vocal experience and music reading skills. Members of the group refine and expand their performance skills while advancing their music education. Outside music preparation is required for this group, which allows rehearsal time to be better spent honing the choir’s blend and advanced musical skills.
