AWARD
WINNING CHILDREN’S PERFORMER JAKE OFFERS MUSICAL FUN
AT PETERBOROUGH MUSEUM SUMMER DISCOVERY CHILDREN’S
CAMP JULY 5- 9 & AUGUST 23 - 27!
 May
31, 2010 -- Music By Jake is pleased to announce that award-winning
children’s musician JAKE DIFFER is once again offering
summer musical fun and learning as part of Peterborough
Museum & Archives’ Summer Discovery Children’s
Camps for children 7 – 11. Jake will lead two week-long
programs: “More Musical Maniacs” July 5 –
9 and “Musical Maestros” Aug 23 – 27.
Jake’s
“Making Music With Jake” camp was a popular
addition to the museum’s Summer Discovery program
in 2009, and Jake’s March Break “Musical Maniacs”
camp was sold out. Marie O’Connor, Education Director
at Peterborough Museum & Archives enthused: "Kids,
parents and educators were thrilled… Campers were
kept busy and happy creating their own musical instruments
and groovin' to the beat. Jake's winning personality put
the children at ease and brought out the best in budding
young musicians who sampled musical styles from around the
world." (Picture: Jake makes lunch time fun, Summer
Discovery 2009)
“I’m
really looking forward to this summer’s camps,”
says Jake. “Kids and music are made for each other,
and we will have a lot of fun together, trying out instruments,
learning about rhythm, listening to music from around the
world, and experimenting with the sound system.”
JAKE
DIFFER is an award-winning children’s songwriter and
recording artist and has toured extensively across Canada.
Apart from leading the museum camps this summer, Jake will
be performing at festivals in BC and Ontario and leading
children on a “Jungle Walk With Jake” at libraries
across Ontario. Jake’s CD HAPPY ALL OF THE TIME was
nominated for a Juno Award for “Children’s Album
of the Year”, and he has earned Parents’ Choice
Awards for his three albums, including Parents’ Choice
Gold for TAKE A LITTLE RIDE WITH ME. His most recent CD
ZIGGY ZAGGY ROAD features the Peterborough Children’s
Chorus, along with many award-winning musicians. A video
of Jake’s song “My Garden” was released
on Earth Day, April 22, 2010 and can be seen on YouTube.
Jake lives in Peterborough with his wife and two children.
