Choristers are a crucial part of the music ministry in St John's as the choir leads the congregation through the musical parts of the liturgy. In the process, choristers learn the importance of teamwork, and respect for others. They learn to read music from many different periods from the ancient to the modern. They sing in many different languages, including Latin, French and German. They learn about the great composers, and about the liturgical seasons of the Church's Year.

Opportunities exist for responsibility and leadership within the choir. Singing has shown to benefit attention span and concentration, which strenthens academic studies. Reading and language skills, rhythm, listening and teamwork all benefit from choral singing. Choristers become so adept at these skills that they become professionals.
