Bio
Purchase the kids' first official 'greatest hits' album at: http://youngaudiences.bandcamp.com/ In 2005, Michael Patrick Welch (then columnist for New Orleans' OffBeat music magazine) began a 'Music Writing' class for ..My House Center for Learning... The class taught kids how to write album reviews, which were published in OffBeat, April 2005. In 2006 Mr. Michael began teaching the same class with the Young Audiences afterschool arts-for-education program. Subsequent kids' reviews have appeared in ..Gambit.. and ..AntiGravity.. magazines. Along with publishing their work, all these publications also PAID the kids! .. The class' second half teaches the kids to program a drum machine and operate recording equipment, in order to record their own original rap and R&B tunes under band names of their choosing. In January of 2010, Young Audiences will release "YA! Young Audiences Raps!" a 13-song, 35-minute disc of the students' greatest hits. .. The jukebox on this page contains songs from the latest class. To procure a copy of the CD, or to write an article about Mr. Michael's Class (a hilarious, heartwarming, downright ..IMPORTANT..
