At the heart of it all, Peter is a singer and guitarist. But for kids and families, it doesn't stop there. As a one-man-band, he peppers his guitar riffs with rides on the harmonica, kazoo and train whistle. While his hands are busy with the guitar or banjo, his feet play the drums! Kids love to watch as well as listen.

A Peter McCory show is a tapestry of musical styles, colors and textures. He prefers to play songs that make children want to move! Some of the kinds of songs he loves to play include:

* Classic children's songs
* Novelty favorites
* Children's songs from around the world
* Folk songs (Historical classics, sea tunes, cowboy songs, railroad favorites)
* Seasonal and holiday classics

Peter's performances usually feature a heavy mix of familiar children's favorites, often with new, unique arrangements. Peter's enthusiasm for the classic songs of childhood brings them to life in a fresh, new way.

Peter also plays other songs that are gems long forgotten by many people. And, his shows also include his playful, award-winning original children's songs.

Children rarely sit still when Peter plays. His programs are interactively geared, and stimulate children to clap, sing, dance, and do fun stuff while he plays. He always brings rhythm instruments for some of the children to play.
