Cool 4 Kids presents a variety of dynamic and engaging performances for children and families. Created in 2007, Tony Genovese B Ed (Music), has recorded four CDs: ‘Opening Doors’, ‘Get Moving’, ‘It’s A Cool 4 Kids World’ and ‘Use Your Imagination’. Each CD is packed full of fun, uplifting and educational songs. Parents, carers and teachers love singing the catchy chorus lines, and children easily learn the words off by heart. Performing Australia-wide as a full-time educational children’s entertainer, Tony has worked at major show days including the Adelaide Royal Show; Alice Springs Show; Ipswich Show; Mildura Show; Perth Royal Show, Gawler Show and even overseas in Italy and Hong Kong! Based in Adelaide, South Australia, he presents at child care centres, kindergartens, birthday parties, libraries, community centres, play groups, OSHC and festival events. Drawing on 16 years of primary school classroom and music specialist teaching, he is easily able to, captivate and energise any audience’s attention.
A Cool 4 Kids presentation can be themed and packed with creative activities including singing, movement, actions, bubble making, scarf-dancing, instrument play, puppetry, dress ups and giant parachute games. Tony is often asked to put together a program of activities to last over the duration of an event such as The Port Festival, Tour Down Under, Fringe at The Port, Kids Fringe at the Hart and Kids Fringe at The Depot. His team of professional assistants add in many extra services including face painting; balloon sculpting; roving magicians and clowns; emcee and disco DJ services; glitter tattoos; origami and art and craft activities; large outdoor games; cooking workshops and henna art.
Cool 4 Kids can be booked as a solo act, duo, trio or a four to five-piece band. Their children’s band called ‘The Music Makers’ features live guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, male and female singers, and costumed dancers. Perfect for school incursions and community theatres, they recently presented their ‘Space Spectacular Show’ for OOTS (Out of the Square) to packed audiences and rave reviews. A range of adorable costumed characters can complement any presentation adding an extra visual element that excites children’s imagination.
