What happens when SLB provides workshops that focus on listening, interviewing, recording and editing? The answer is award-winning radio features that enlighten, educate and entertain. Hear projects produced by youth in Grades 3-12 and young adults.
Our weekly radio program invites students in Grades K-12 to perform live on the air. Hear young musicians, singer/songwriters, photographers, writers, poets and other people who express themselves through the arts.
Join us as we celebrate the original talent in our midst with these weekly archives of in-studio performances by regional and national musicians and artists. Folk, bluegrass, jazz, singer/songwriter, international, storytellers and more!

On August 10, 2010, SLB visited the Hill House and captured stories from teenagers about their neighborhoods.
For our last day of Summer Dreamers, we took a “field trip” to the Children’s Museum! We thought they needed some very deserved time to play. Many of our campers had never been to the exhibits before, and it was wonderful to watch them interact with the other patrons and play with the other kids. View the slide show below to see all that we did today.
Evidenced in the CD we gave them yesterday, our camp was a very successful and rewarding experience, for both the adults as well as the kids. Thanks to all of you for the very wonderful past five weeks! Enjoy the rest of summer!
On Thursday August 12th we had our cumulative activity – a listening party! Each camper in the Pittsburgh Youth Radio Corps received a CD card kit, featuring 25 tracks from the past 5 weeks. We had light refreshments and listened to our camps’ highlights. Then we played with vocoders, midi controllers, microphones, and personalized our CDs using arts and crafts products. Great job today campers!
On Wednesday, our group split in to two smaller groups. In the production studio, our kids did some “heavy lifting” learning how to edit their own interviews from Monday and Tuesday. This process requires concentration, critical thinking, and an advanced understanding of the components of conversation. Not to mention, we are still learning how to use Adobe Audition on our netbooks! We think the kids did a remarkable job tackling this difficult challenge. In the station, the rest of us told stories and shared experiences on such topics as “What makes a good friend?” and “Where I will be in ten years.” Great job today everyone!
