Craig entertained the kids at my son's preschool graduation party and he was wonderful! The kids absolutely loved it. My son enjoyed it so much that he stuck it out through a very humid and hot day, through to the end because he was having so much fun. It was great fun to watch too, Craig has a great rapport with the kids and it's just so much fun, I think we'll be seeing you for a birthday party later in the year!

By far the best interactive show, thank you!!

Wow! – Thank you Craig for an amazing two days of non-stop drumming!! You catered for 200+ students from 9 classes to personally engage with a drum and it was beautifully executed. Students learnt so much about dynamics, pitch and rhythm. Your passion and enthusiasm was contagious. They were even drumming on their lunch boxes in the playground. Thank you so much for your organisation and planning, your flexibility and creativity made it so easy to work in with our timetable and school needs. Finally, thank you for making such a great impact on the students. Look forward to having you back next year!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a great session yesterday. The workshop was great fun - it was fantastic to watch all the different boys 'get right into it’ - each in their own way - and thank you for being so engaging and inclusive. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Thank you, too, for being so easy, efficient and professional to work with, too, during the planning stages - and for accommodating all requests from the school. I hope to use you again in the future..

What can I say... Craig you made my daughter's first birthday such a memorable day for all those who attended. Your professionalism and warm persona was nothing short of amazing!!! The children ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT and so did the adults!!! It was so much fun!! The way you made each child feel so special and gave those who were slightly reluctant, confidence to join in and have loads of fun. It really is such a terrific way to entertain all ages and you really have a way to make every person feel a part of the experience.

The adults were talking of how great it was after you left and I have been getting messages from the parents saying the children had so much fun with the drums! Thank you once again for such an amazing experience and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND your service to anyone looking for something super fun and out of the norm. I will absolutely use you again and again and again!!

I would highly recommend your incursion. Your equipment is fantastic. You have so much energy. It was wonderful to see children with special needs really getting involved as the experience was so hands on. The pictures tell a thousands words as the saying goes. The children haven't stopped talking about the drums and their special certificate. Thank you so much. We cant wait to have you back again next year.

Craig - yesterday was absolutely awesome!!  You are amazing & the kids had a ball & the adults were raving about how great it was! Thanks again for making our son's 9th Birthday one he'll never forget! Shelly

What an amazing opportunity for our students and our school community!  Every student participated in a high energy drumming session with Craig from Kids on Congas.  Learning about different drums, drumming techniques, dynamics, timbre and rhythms we drummed, we learnt, we laughed and had an awesome time!

Craig tailored additional sessions for Years 5 and 6 building on our drumming rhythms, creating loops and poly rhythms.  Our listening and concentration skills were challenged as well as our ability to work together as a class to produce rhythms in unison.  The Year 5 and 6 course culminated in a performance for our school community which was thoroughly enjoyed by all - parents, students and teachers.

Craig was very easy to work with, his flexibility allowed us to work in with the current school timetable and his engagement with students of all ages and abilities meant that everyone had a chance to shine. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much Craig for the awesome entertainment you brought to our son’s 12th Birthday party. The high energy drumming was just fantastic. All the boys had an awesome time and loved every minute. We applaud your professionalism, enthusiasm and passion for what you do. We will be happy to recommend Kids on Congas to everyone, it was an excellent experience and worth every cent

Hi Craig,  We just wanted to thank you so much for your efforts on Saturday to make Angus party such a great success. Angus said it was the best party he had ever had and we, as well as the other adults found it really entertaining. Many parents said how engaging you were with the kids and it was very thoughtful of you to let Lily have a go at the end. All the best for a great year ahead you have certainly started ours off with a bang!

Paula & Lachlan Mcmiken,

Kids on Congas is the best incursion we have by far! Craig is so high energy the children just love it. Ample drums for everyone means no one misses out and Craig has this great skill of giving everyone a turn of something special also. Would recommend to anyone!!

We have had the privilege of partnering with Kids on Congas since September 2012. We run multiple activities for ages 8 and above and have found Kids on Congas perfectly suited for our school groups, holiday camps and weekend family groups. Craig's vibrant personality, infectious energy and masterful use of more instruments than I could count draw out the musical side of everyone involved. Craig's specially designed programs allow each person to walk away with a huge sense of achievement. His flexibility and professionalism make him a joy to partner with; we could not recommend him highly enough.

My Kindergarten class were lucky to have Craig Morrison play at our school, and boy did they have an absolute ball! With exciting and engaging activities for all children and many opportunities to participate in different activities, Kids on Congas is a fantastic choice for a hands on and fun music experience. Craig was extremely professional and got along with the class so well, they couldn't stop talking about it!! I highly recommend Craig Morrison and his super duper drumming skills!

Thank you so much for the fabulous drumming sessions you ran for Byattunga Joeys, Cubs and Scouts this afternoon. Participation was more than enthusiastic and comments from youth members, leaders and parents alike we're very appreciative of the activity. I'm sure that everyone will be talking about it for a long time to come. The parents were very impressed with both the way you engaged the entire group and the enthusiasm that you put into every second of the session!

Craig from Kids on Congas was the star attraction at our workshop last week for children with Cerebral Palsy and their families. His enthusiasm and passion for drumming was contagious and ensured everyone got involved. He was sensitive and respectful of the children's different needs and abilities making all the children (and their parents) feel like rock stars. Craig's drumming workshop created an environment where everyone was equal and the stresses of having Cerebral Palsy or having a sibling or a child with Cerebral Palsy were melted away and these families were allowed to just have fun together. I could not recommend Craig from Kids on Congas highly enough.

We had a session with Craig Morrison from 'Kids on Congas' on our disabled children's camp. By all accounts it was a stand out activity of the camp. Craig was able to connect with every single child instantaneously. Even children who had previously been completely unengaged suddenly came alive with this activity. The energy, dedication and care he brought to the role was nothing short of incredible. He was professional from the first point of contact and completely across the important areas of working with disabled children. I cannot recommend more highly 'Kids on Congas' for children with disabilities.

Hi Craig Thanks again for a fantastic party for Toby today. It surpassed all of our expectations - the kids and adults both loved it and your energy and enthusiasm was greatly appreciated, especially on such a warm day. When Ron took Toby to the bathroom towards the end of the drumming session he told Ron that he wasn't sure if he could do any more drumming because his hands were very tired! He just loved it and has been talking about it all afternoon. Kind regards and thanks again Rachel

Hi Craig, Thank you so much for coming to William's Birthday Party on Sunday. Everybody who took part in the drumming had the most fabulous time. You managed to engage so many of the children and they were so proud of being able to participate and feel accomplished. You certainly lined them up for success and they relished in it! We have had so many beautiful emails from families who had such a wonderful time. Thanks again for being part of William's birthday party and for making it such a memorable occasion. Kind Regards Michelle

St Joseph's Primary School in Taree held a leadership day for all Year 6 children from Primary Schools in the Manning region. Kids on Congas ran some fantastic drumming sessions for the kids, engaging all the kids with great enthusiasm and obviously vast experience. The children had fun and the teachers agreed they were engaged and actively listening the whole time! What a great way to build confidence and self-esteem, especially for these children heading into the teenage years!

Lee Sullivan,
Acting Assistant Principal, St Joseph's Primary School Taree

We welcomed Kids with Congas for a 5 week program at our OOSH and I have never seen our kids love anything more. They were active and engaged the whole time but most importantly they had loads of FUN!! Craig was brilliant with the varied age groups and even helped us put on a performance. I cannot recommend this activity highly enough, we will be inviting him back without doubt.

We are grandparents of two of the children at your school and attended the Performing Arts Evening on Wednesday night. We live four hours’ drive from Sydney and it was an effort to get there but we were so pleased we did. We extend our warmest congratulations to all responsible for such a wonderful event. Special thanks and congratulations also to the drumming tutor. We congratulated him personally on the night. The drumming session was a really special part of the evening. Well done!!

Kids on Congas creates such a loud and lively performance for children of all ages. It involves the children by offering a hands on drumming experience which creates such energy and laughter heard by children and adults. We can't wait for Craig to visit every year. This is certainly an experience for everyone young and old!
