Becoming a chorister

Being a chorister at St. Peter’s is highly rewarding and great fun. Choristers develop valuable life skills and gain self-confidence while receiving a unique musical education.

Choristerships are free of charge. No previous musical experience is necessary. We welcome boys and girls from Year 3 who show enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and get involved. It is musical potential, rather than ability, that is important.

Choristers receive:

  • a unique and fun musical education
  • activities, trips, and concerts
  • new friendships
  • pocket-money pay
  • excellent vocal training
  • RSCM Award and AB Theory training
  • crucial life skills (such as confidence, teamwork, responsibility and leadership)
  • reinforced academic skills (such as literacy, numeracy and languages)
