The St. Peter's Girls' Choir sings for Sunday worship every other week and meets twice a week for practice, social time and education. Education includes vocal production, music theory, sight-singing, the liturgical year, and elements of music history.  The repertoire focuses on two-part treble repertoire from across the centuries, but occasionally includes four-part music sung with adults. Each girl receives a stipend that increases with experience and achievement and ribbons to signify their progress through the choir.

A week of choir camp in August helps to create a sense of community among the girls and to assimilate new members. The choir sings services and concerts in the surrounding area as well as festivals with other choirs. The choir has sung services at Harvard University and has traveled to Bermuda and Canada to perform. New girls ages 7 and higher of any background are always welcome. The only requirements are a musical ear and a willingness to learn.
