The word "choir" can be either one or two syllables, because the O and the I (while not a vowel pair as in "oy") can be pronounced together as a long I. The one-syllable version is the same as "quire" with a KW sound from the QU. This rhymes with "lyre." The two-syllable version is (kwy-ur) with the R having a schwa sound as in "liar." * Lyre and liar are homophones in US English.
