    What is the role of a chorister?

    Choristers are ministers of the gospel through songs. Choristers are the Levites of
    today, meant to perform sacred duties in the house of God (Numbers 3:6-12). Levites
    were members of a priestly tribe associated with the priesthood – they sang in the holy
    sanctuary and played different musical instruments

    So, in no particular order, these are the qualities that I believe make for an ideal
    choir member:
     punctuality. It takes a while to build up a safe, creative atmosphere, but only a second to
    destroy it. ...
     commitment. ...
     responsibility. ...
     self-awareness. ...
     trust. ...
     attentiveness. ...
     consideration for others. ...
     listening skills.

    What are the duties of a chorister?


    The four functions are to lead and enliven the congregation's song, to sing music that
    the congregation cannot, to serve as a small-group within the church for faith formation,
    and to sing beautiful and challenging music to glorify God and to edify the congregation.

    10 HABITS FOR GOOD CHOIR MEMBERS

    1. Attend every rehearsal.  Every rehearsal is important!

    2. Always be on time, or preferably be early. There is not a good excuse for


    being late to every rehearsal!

    3. Have a pencil ready to mark your music from the director’s


    instructions. Spell musical terms as correctly as possible. (Can you
    spell Crescendo?)
    4. Limit your talking during the choir rehearsal. Directors
    know that you will talk a little, but discipline yourself to be
    courteous to your choir director. It is frustrating to have
    conversations going on while trying to rehearse!

    5. Encourage your choir Master or mistress.  Obey gifts etc

    6. Let your choir director know when you will be


    absent. You are important, and it helps in planning to know
    when members will be absent from a rehearsal or service.

    7. Work to improve as a musician. Strive for excellence.

    8. Attempt to blend your voice. 

    9. Memorize Scripture about music. Psalm 104:33 is great


    verse with which to start! 

    10. Pray for your pastor and choir director daily. We all need
    the blessings of the Lord!
