      <title>Songwriter Hears Conscious Calling for Music, Society Needs a Conscience Too</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Award Winning Songwriter turned conscious company owner answers her own calling for the music lyrics too graphic and violent for today's young crowd</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/06/2012 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Milliea Taylor McKinney" href="http://www.consciousentertainment.us/">Milliea Taylor McKinney</a>, started her adult life touching the hearts of others in education. Later she would pursue her life long dream as a songwriter, to finally get a break with her now friend Publisher, and Record Producer Marsha Brown, of Brandon Hills Music &amp; Jandar Records. Taking home with her many recognitions, awards and a conscience.<br />
<br />
Little did she know that her journey would land her in the lap of social consciousness in her pursuit to change the world through music and lyrics. Her quest to seek out support from those who understand the magic of music and lyrics to bring awareness to society that we as a society need to &apos;stop!&apos; to listen to what our children are hearing. &apos;Graphic and violent content that not only is disrespectful but also, unacceptable for today&apos;s youth says McKinney&apos;.<br />
<br />
"What are we thinking? She asks, as parents what excuse can we possibly have that would allow us to stand idly by and watch our children be destroyed and used by the music industry through their artist to sell and market such garbage never in music history have we ever allowed a graphic, or violent, musical virus go untreated recalls McKinney."<br />
<br />
We need to have our morals and values clearly re- defined.<br />
<br />
Modern technology, is only one resource that contributes to our underlying problems that are plagued and hidden in music through lyrics that clearly claim our youth in a poor attempt to call it &apos;a passing fad&apos; when indeed it is a marketing scheme targeting our youth in the name of financial gain for corporate musical outlets that filter their music and lyrics out to youth knowing they will buy that which is not allowed...<br />
<br />
So why then are America&apos;s children able to buy that which is not for the eyes or ears of minors who clearly do not understand the affect or influence that music truly has on mankind?<br />
<br />
Milliea, and her <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="conscience plan" href="http://www.consciousentertainment.us/">conscience plan</a> to keep fighting corporates, and law makers until she gets a valid answer.&apos; McKinney, asks if I am willing to stand up for those youth who do not understand the outcome of choices they have not been groomed for or taught then please tell me where are our countries leaders and our societies youth parents and families?&apos;<br />
<br />
Love, is apparently missing in the world so troubled with pain but, there is hope as Milliea, has written a song she hopes will carry her message for change. The song ironically is called, "We Are Hope". So as long as we have humanitarians such as Milliea, we have one seed of hope that could blossom into a tree of change for all mankind.<br />
<br />
Please feel the calling and support Milliea, and her team by &apos;Liking&apos; them on facebook and by showing you care about children and their future musical eduaction as it does inspire us and design our future.<br />

      <title>J.J. Crowne, Singer-Songwriter for the 21st century, Signed to World-wide Distribution With Musik and Film and Out of The Box Records</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/19/2012 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Musik and Film and Out of the Box Records" href="http://www.musikandfilm.com/getpromoted">Musik and Film and Out of the Box Records</a> are proud to announce the release of J.J. Crowne&apos;s new EP, "Another Day Of Love." In long held traditions, J.J. Crowne&apos;s "<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Another Day of Love" href="http://www.jjcrowne.com">Another Day of Love</a>" weaves compelling stories of "life, love, and Lennon."<br />
<br />
Seldom before has there been a musical &apos;entrepreneur&apos; that captures the essence of true life, and paints his artistry with lyrics and music to create the next hit song. Many artists have come and gone, but few have ever appeared to take over the next generation with songs with the feel of yesteryear and storylines that resonate with the current times. The captivating and descriptive creativity of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="J.J. Crowne" href="http://www.jjcrowne.com">J.J. Crowne</a> brings to the airwaves the newest of his creative melodious masterpieces. All 5 songs on this EP will draw on the emotions with the heartfelt storytelling that is Crowne&apos;s. The title song, depicted so well on the cover, "Another Day of Love," begs to ask the question as one opens the morning paper, reads of the homeless, the crime, the wars does one feel love or indifference? In the style of Dylan, it&apos;s a relevant story that Crowne&apos;s song uses to draw you in to the emotion of the times. "Best of Intentions" has a Jim Croce feel.  Then there&apos;s "Only Time" with a Beatles meets The Byrds feel, and "She and He"a parable of how very different people can get along. Crowne&apos;s final masterpiece on the EP, "Toy Soldiers," will draw on rough emotions with the story of children playing with "toy" soldiers as they evolve into "real" sons and daughters as soldiers. This amazing project came together when J.J. Crowne teamed up with producer Stephen Wrench (whose credits include Rick Springfield, Tommy Tutone) and Jeff Silverman, a well known mixing/mastering engineer (whose credits include Rick Springfield, Prince). Stephen Wrench remarked, "I heard something in the raw versions of these songs, but had no idea what I was getting into. Once I started working with J.J. my creative juices started flowing. Never at any time did I ever feel that the project would be anything but sensational." With the mastery of talent such as J.J. Crowne, Stephen Wrench, and Jeff Silverman together all specializing in their craft this EP is not short of perfection. "Another Day of Love," one of his best works ever, is coming soon from J.J. Crowne.<br />
<br />
His talents as a singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist have earned him musical notoriety, as he started his career as a composer, performer, and producer of theatrical music, radio jingles, and TV cues and themes for Fox, PBS and Univision. In Crowne&apos;s hometown of Miami, he also opened shows for acts as diverse as The Mavericks and Marilyn Manson in the early 1990&apos;s. His debut album "Songs Of Innocence And Experience," which was released in July, 2011, went on later to claim the "2011 Indie CD Of The Year" by IndieMusicDigest selected over 300 other entries. The album received only excellent reviews from over 20 music publications both here and abroad. J.J. Crowne is sure to be a chart climber, displaying his talent in every song he brings to the forefront of radio, stage, and to his audiences. This is what media is saying about the musical mastery of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="J.J. Crowne" href="http://www.jjcrowne.com">J.J. Crowne</a>: The editors of MusicEmissions.com call J.J. "a singer songwriter for the 21st. Century…a true troubadour;" SkopeMagazine.com calls him "a real deal music man;" The editor of IndieMusicDigest.com writes: "Amazing songwriting, passionate vocal presence, and music that is straight from the heart;" Suite101.com calls J.J. "musical magic;" RocknRollView says J.J. Crowne "has clearly mastered his craft;" The Miami Herald writes: "he can really write a lyric…songs were compelling, nicely woven tales of love, loss and Lennon;" DJ &apos;Uncle Earl&apos; of KCLA FM (Los Angeles) says "What the world needs – more J.J. Crowne… WOW!" Musik and Film and radio promotions division, My Musik Radio Promotions, plan to do just that with a full fledged assault on the world of J.J. Crowne&apos;s best work ever, "Another Day of Love", beginning mid July 2012. Crowne, whose compassion in writing developed from years of working with the indigent, commented, "For a guy who&apos;s been banging his head on the outside walls of this crazy music biz for almost 30 years, meeting and working with Stephen Wrench and his associates at Musik and Film has been almost too good to be true. Whatever success I have with this material in the coming months and years will be largely attributable to Stephen, Jeff and the good folks at Musik and Film. Here&apos;s looking forward to a great journey together."<br />

      <title>Teens Express Gratitude to Conscious Music Entertainment and Encourages Other Teens to Follow Their Own Dream...While CME and Muzart Give Them the Resources to Sing As Though No One Were Listening</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Nashville, TN -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/21/2012 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Josie Passantino" href="http://www.josieShow.com">Josie Passantino</a>, and Lenore Luca, are not your average teens of today in fact they are voices of the future. Role models for their peers.<br />
<br />
Teen supporter&apos;s of many social causes such as cancer, veterans, bullying, homelessness, music education, and positive lyrics, for youth. These two young ladies have been mentored by one of Nashville&apos;s most noted songwriter&apos;s and owner of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>, Milliea McKinney. Supported by <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, and Founder Pat Melfi.<br />
<br />
Milliea, took both girls under her wing, and supported their dream to achieve their goals. Goals that turned out successful because, it was based on love, determination, belief in oneself, and support, from the adults in their life. Guidance from those adults that cared enough to open that window of possibility . When we asked Milliea, what she was hoping to accomplished with the teens, and her message she stated, her goals were to demonstrate how important role modeling, and guiding our youth are.<br />
<br />
She said, the message is that we open the gateway of experience for them so they can travel a journey that teaches them, and empowers them to challenge themselves, and the possibilities of what they can achieve if they just try to be the best they can be. Which prepares them, and other generations for a sound productive future. Music, being the resource all humanity resonates to. One that teaches our youth in many ways a resource to higher learning.<br />
<br />
Part of the dynamics of this amazing concept is not only planting the seeds in our youth but, also awakening those that have already been planted in the adults in their lives by the generation before them says, McKinney.<br />
<br />
Making them aware of the sound foundation our teens will develop and build, and begin to structure as we mentor, and teach our children the concept of being a quality citizens for our society. Also, making it known how positive lyrics, music, and education, create that solid foundation. Milliea, said, she feels <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>, are the right, and left of those dynamics that balance that resource that can change the world of music, and education for the better.<br />
<br />
She went on to say that she couldn&apos;t understand why those that make the decisions for the quality of education would ever consider music, and art as one of the first cutbacks...Nor, could she understand why the music industry would allow the graphic, and violent content filter into our children&apos;s hands. Ending her comment, she stated why she felt that she, and partner Pat Melfi, and others in the music industry know, and understand music, and its resonating affect on humanity, and its society, and why they have worked so hard in building that resource in Conscious Music Entertainment, and Muzart World Foundation.<br />
<br />
It has often been said, &apos;Out Of The Mouths Of Babes.&apos; I don&apos;t think I totally got that saying until I had the pleasure of meeting these amazing people who are building the stage for music that the world will come to know as &apos;Muzart World Foundation&apos; and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>.<br />
<br />
Just think about it. Major holidays, are celebrated with music, personal celebrations also, celebrated with music, vacations, traveling, advertisement, entertainment, and in everyday living you hear music. So tell me why would we want it to stop? Imagine for one second the silence. Imagine a birthday party without a birthday song. A wedding, without that special song that will mark this festive moment in time. Imagine going to the beach without a boom box. Finally, going to church without a song of worship. In relationship to our children, what resource if not music would help a teen to cope with the many changes they go through as the develop into an adult. What resource would help them understand those feelings they experience during their growing years?<br />
<br />
Music, is a way of life without it we all will die emotionally because, music is the link that seems to generate the relationship music identifies to our emotions, and inner being. Identifying, soothing, and even healing in our loss, broken hearts, happy times, and just plain want to feel good moments. Conscious Music, is a form of music that understands what words can do to the understanding, and interpretation of a group of words that paint the picture of a song. Which influence our listeners particularly our youth. Planting the seeds of music education. Knowing this to be fact why not start on a positive note?<br />
<br />
Teaching our youth at the earliest age will help set the stage to a healthy, and happy experience with music, and music education. The importance of music is now more relevant than ever with concerns on cutting programs in public schools we open the door for even more serious problems elected by making these choices to do so. Muzart World Foundation, and it partnering company <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>, understand this crucial concept, and the need you to understand what cutting back on these programs will do for future generations of music, and its legacy. By beginning the process of understanding now as a society we can lessen the damage by coming together by supporting this amazing cause by first generating the knowledge, filtering the importance, gathering the support, and pulling in the donations so that children everywhere can experience the emotional concept of music, and its purpose in our daily lives.<br />
<br />
We as a society owe it to our youth and the seeds of newer generations to have the benefit of the magic of music and its role in our daily lives. Such as with Lenore, and Josie, who met McKinney, through their talk shows while she was booking some of her clients. Within time they had developed a friendship, and trust in one another that opens the window of a mentor-ship. Both Lenore, and Josie are very grateful for this journey, and feel their connection to McKinney, had impacted their lives enough to make a positive impression on them. One they intend on taking with them and sharing with others.<br />
<br />
Josie, who aspired to be a songwriter, and to perform her own tunes succeeded releasing her debut single &apos;Teenage Girl&apos;. Which can be heard and purchased on her site, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="www.josieShow.com" href="http://www.josieShow.com">www.josieShow.com</a>, Lenore, who aspired to be the voice for those who had lost, or maybe did not even know how to use their voice through her own magazine &apos;<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Teen Groove On The Move" href="http://www.TeenGrooveOnTheMove.com">Teen Groove On The Move</a>,&apos; and to be a motivational speaker to those teens wanting to be the best the can be. Her magazine can be viewed on <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="www.TeenGrooveOnTheMove.com" href="http://www.TeenGrooveOnTheMove.com">www.TeenGrooveOnTheMove.com</a><br />
<br />
In this journey she touched many, and continues to make that positive change everywhere she goes lighting up not only the room but, the hearts of those teens whose heart had lost their light, and their way McKinney, says Lenore, is a natural her heart is beyond her years. Her compassion for humanity, and those less fortunate, and who are struggling in times that are very difficult is of a heart that knows, and feels the pain, and suffering of others. She is inspiration, and hope that our generations to come will be at least as compassionate as she is. McKinney, also said, she could see nothing but success in Lenore&apos;s, life because Lenore, gives so freely of herself to others.<br />
<br />
Lenore, who is preparing to attend college in the fall will study broadcasting. Lenore, also stated she couldn&apos;t imagine Milliea, being anywhere but, walking beside her through out her life, and journey. "Milliea, is the type that knows just when to call, and when to render her guidance" says Lenore, a trait she has picked up on McKinney, while being mentored.<br />
<br />
Josie, who also, agrees that McKinney, knows just when to pop up, and when to speak up in her mentoring and when guiding the teens to do what is best for themselves on an individual level. Part of McKinney&apos;s, mentoring is that you must identify with your true self, and your dreams before you can achieve them. Both girls also, agree that they enjoyed their journey with McKinney, and will be a seed of faith to those who aspire to be.<br />
<br />
McKinney says, there are many doors opening for Lenore, and even a surprise or, two. As for Josie, she is working on the release of her full first album and will be busy in the recording studio, and preparing for the release of the album entitled &apos;Life And Love Are Tricky,&apos; songs she has personally written the lyrics to with some help on the music which was written by McKinney.<br />
<br />
Where do you see these to amazing teens five years from now? McKinney replied, doing what they love best achieving and sharing the knowledge, and love. Planting the seeds of hope for others. Knowing this we can without hesitation say, McKinney &amp; Melfi, know music, mentoring, and education now it is up to us citizens in society who can make their seeds form into trees that will blossom beautiful children everywhere planting positive seeds for future generations.<br />
<br />
Won&apos;t you be among the first to care and render that support by donating, mentoring, or merely visiting their sites or facebook and posting comments that encourage the need for change. Our children are confused and are looking for answers these wonderful people are trying to build that safe warm place of understanding... Want you open the door so these children can come in and receive what what intended for them in the first place innocence and education. Before our adult society got caught up in other pressing matters. It is never too late to change but it is a tragedy when we recognize the change and fail to make it!<br />

      <title>Icon in Music Industry to Save Music Legacy</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Five Time Promoter Of The Year & Former VP To MCA Records and Partners to Invest In Music's Future</p><p>Hollywood, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/03/2012 --  When you say the name <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Pat Melfi" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Pat Melfi</a>, you may or, may not know the name because his preference is the "back room", however, his background and his professional record speaks loud and clear as to who he is and how he will be remembered. Pat Melfi, for those who are not sure is one of music industries most respected names on the business side of the music industry.<br />
<br />
A recipient of not one but, &apos;five time promoter of the year.&apos; Managing concert tours for some of the most recognizable names in music such as Pink Floyd, Vince Gill, Three Dog Night, Guess Who, Tom Petty, and the Eagles, even Grammy artists such as, Juice Newton, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Alabama and Collin Raye, currently managing Multi-Platinum Artists Champaign and World Renowned Actress/Writer/Producer Aura Figueiredo.<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Melfi" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Melfi</a> is also, known for his services as the VP to MCA records, serving well over 30 years to the company directly, and through his company The Music Associates. However, his music career started in 1974, while working on the &apos;Have It Your Way,&apos; Burger King Campaign, while attending Berkeley.<br />
<br />
Through his journey he would have experienced three marriages, and three children, while his life lessons would have carried his share of mistakes along the way but, blessing him enough to land back on his feet to realize he had a bigger calling through his faith in God and love for children. This is when his vision began to take form through Muzart World Foundation.<br />
<br />
The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a> is a 501 (C-3) Public Charity, organized by industry leaders in music, entertainment, and education. Pat Melfi, (Life long friend and partner) Ken Kragen, (Founder of Right To Succeed) Ted Fujimoto, Brandon Frank, Ellis Pailet, and Philip Cacayorin who are dedicated in ensuring music, and the creative arts will be taught in our public school programs.<br />
<br />
Though this organization, has many facets that will highlight some of the funding, and some of the events that will come from <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart</a>. Their mission is to organize donations, management of intellectual property, technologies, and entertainment assets. To also, develop a curriculum with the goal to reverse systemic failures of education, communities, and family structures that are impediments to the advancement of sciences and creative arts. Finally to build the path to the future that nourishes generations of today&apos;s youth by ensuring that all different areas of human development are cultivated in the school programs, and not just those focused areas myopically, deemed economically prudent to teach.<br />
<br />
So where will this journey take us, and when will it launch? The foundations plans are to sponsor an event early 2013, that will demonstrate what is possible when music education is readily available to those children that can benefit from those programs. The Event, &apos;Each One Teach One.&apos; is merely one of many journey&apos;s to follow. Among those journeys will be the developing of the best project based library in music, and art, and to also, reach out globally. To Produce some of those events will be Conscious Music Entertainment, owned by Nashville known songwriter, Milliea McKinney. Milliea, who has partnered with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Melfi" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Melfi</a>, based on her love for music, and compassion for children, and music education. McKinney, the perfect match says Melfi, as he has learned through his professional business relationship with her. "McKinney, is the kind of friend most look for in a life time but, only few are blessed to find." Melfi, who has made many friends along his journey that have touched his life such as with Trudy Reynolds, who introduced him to the writer&apos;s of the song &apos;Each One Teach One,&apos; that will be featured on their launching tour January 2013, John Durrill, and Jeff Silbar.<br />
<br />
When we asked <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Melfi" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Melfi</a>, what message he would like to convey his response was simple. Donate is the first most important act of compassion but, if that is not an option your time, and social involvement will certainly help in making this cause for our children a priority that should not be ignored. Getting the word out is crucial making both education, and government understand what they are doing when they are robbing the children of the knowledge, and their right for these kinds of programs which should be of major concern to every head of household, and indeed should be re-evaluated.

      <title>What Is Multi- Platinum R&amp;B Group Champaign Doing</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Beverly Hills, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/30/2012 --  Pauli Carman, lead singer and the driving force behind 80&apos;s Super-group Champaign, to help <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">MuzArt World Foundation</a> reach schools, and communities across the country with the poignant message and music of Each One Teach One. This catalog includes over 900 Top Ten Billboard charting hit songs that represent a chronology of what has made American music what it is today. Household legends in popular music such as Bill Haley, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino, and Alice Cooper, are just a few of the names that grace the pop catalog.<br />
<br />
One of the first artist from the extraordinary list of legendary songs is Multi-Platinum R&amp;B vocalist<br />
<br />
Pauli Carman, of Champaign. Pauli, who served as a teacher after leaving the stage in 1985 resonated with the whole mission designed by Muzart World Foundation, and the need to continue the legacy of music, and art education.<br />
<br />
Rounding up the band for a return to the stage was the right thing to do according to Carman. When asked what attracted him to MuzArt Pauli replied, "What attracted me to the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart foundation</a> most, was the fact that there really are people willing to stand up to fight for the rights of those who can&apos;t (The Children). The Children of today are our future and they have the right to the best education, and the right to succeed in all areas that they choose, including and especially music, and the arts. Music for me is my passion it has been a way of expression, communication, and a feeling of self worth and success in my life since I was a child. Without the experience, I would never of had the opportunity to become a well known Multi-Platinum artist nor, would I know the importance it serves in education as a teacher." Recently, from the UK a comment was placed asking what Champaign is doing?<br />
<br />
Clearly we can see that they are setting the stage for what all American&apos;s, and especially those in the<br />
arts, and those who are in education should be doing. Rallying around <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, in support of the legacy of music, and art education. It is no secret that American education is in turmoil, jobs are being stomped out daily. We as American&apos;s can not afford not to educate our future. Children everywhere will suffer this catastrophic loss if blinders on the eyes of our nation does not understand the needs, and the benefits of the arts. Music has always set the tone for our lives in celebration of those things that mean the most to us all. Those things that connect our emotions to those special moments in time, marking our memories.. If music is shut down what will our world sound like? Think about it?<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart</a> founder Pat Melfi, is offering a scholarship program to be named after those artist whose hearts are bigger then they are. Those who understand their responsibility to their viewers, supporters and fans.<br />
<br />
Those who understand what their partnering Company <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>, seems to get that no child should have to take second seat to those programs that set the tone for their future. Music is more than the arts it is life. Our children are our biggest assets so why are we not feeding our children knowledge if they are hungry to learn?<br />
<br />
We owe them the opportunity to be the next generation of great musicians, vocalist, and songwriters, We owe them an opportunity to understand the complexities of higher learning, and its relationship to music and the arts. We owe this world the support to continue the legacy of music education.

Milliea, wanted to do something that would impact the world so she formed <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.consciousmusic.webs.com">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>, partnered by &apos;Five Time Promoter Of The Year,&apos; and Former VP to MCA Records Pat Melfi. The duo, came together to make a huge difference targeting the needs of societies youth through music. Melfi also, the founder of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, supporting music education legacy. The companies function is as a talent agency, however the twist to this unique company offers a mentor-ship to youth through music lyrics. A concept both McKinney, and Melfi would understand as music professionals.<br />
<br />
McKinney, who over the past several months took on a student whose dream was to learn the art of songwriting, and to be a trained professional vocalist. In doing so the result for one Bartlett Illinois teen, would be a recording contract with Jandar records, and trained vocal learning experience that comes from the magic ingredients of time, music, faith, hard work, and love, from her mentors vocal coach Gloria Brown, and songwriting teacher McKinney, Josie Passantino, now lives her dream having experienced the opportunity to learn about herself, music, and her abilities to sing, and write her positive songs, that inspire, make her audience, laugh, and to dance.<br />
<br />
When we asked Milliea, what her inspiration was she stated, &apos;Children resonate to music especially in their teen years. In some cases music becomes their best friend, their way to problem solve. With the lack of communication with teens, and adults music often becomes their role model, and their teacher. Music, is the biggest resource to educating our society. So why not start teaching our teens, and society the essence of life which is through music. Respect comes through lyrics which teach those thing that are, and are not acceptable. It sets the ground floor that builds the stage for our children, and their future.<br />
<br />
&apos;McKinney, who also, mentored yet another youth from New Jersey, Lenore Luca.<br />
<br />
Luca, was inspired to be the voice for teens everywhere. Part of the mentor-ship McKinney, brought to Lenore, was the inspiration to use her voice through writing, and motivational speaking. The end result would be a magazine written, designed, and edited by Lenore herself. The magazine called, &apos;<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Teen Groove On The Move" href="http://www.teengrooveonthemove.com">Teen Groove On The Move</a>,&apos; inspired teens to do what is right, and to be their own person. Luca, also, has graduated to motivational speaking taking her message to schools group events, and corporate functions, across the<br />
<br />
US. McKinney states, &apos;I am am proud of both <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Josie Passantino" href="http://www.josieshow.com">Josie Passantino</a>, and Lenore Luca, they demonstrate that with the right guidance our youth can become sound productive, and happy citizens for our future while enjoying the benefits of their youth and innocence. Keeping entertainment positive is a responsibility our society has indeed sold out on for the finer materialistic joys that life may offer. This makes me sad, and this why I try to bring awareness to our society through my company.&apos;<br />
<br />
Josie Passantino, will celebrate her accomplishments at her web-show song release party on Friday, May 4, at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="www.JosieShow.com" href="http://www.josieshow.com">www.JosieShow.com</a> 7p.m central &amp; 8 pm eastern time.

      <title>World Renowned Actress Aura Figueiredo to Endorse Muzart World Foundation</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Actress, Aura Figueiredo, Desperate Housewives, ER, Passion, Albino Alligator to help MuzArt World Foundation reach schools and communities across the world with the poignant message and music of Each One Teach One.</p><p>Beverly Hills, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/27/2012 --  When asked what initially attracted her to the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt World Foundation" href="http://www.muzrtworld.org">MuzArt World Foundation</a>, Canadian Actress <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Aura Figueiredo" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1128620/">Aura Figueiredo</a> commented from her British Columbia home, "I believe it is our responsibility as adults and parents to do what we can to assure children across the world that they have music and arts as a mandated part of their education.  It should not be only for just those interested or the wealthy.  Every child in the world should be provided with opportunities. We know from research that it is essential to the brain development and stimulates their reading comprehensions, delivering better academic results.   It should be a requirement to have Music and Education in the global school systems. Kids learn that they can communicate by music and arts and they didn&apos;t even know it. I was a very shy person and until I was introduced to music and arts, I had no clue I can shout out.  I&apos;m saddened that it&apos;s not as common in schools as it used to be." <br />
<br />
The Founder and President of the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt World Foundation" href="http://www.muzrtworld.org">MuzArt World Foundation</a>, Pat Melfi couldn&apos;t be more pleased with the commitment made to the 501(c) (3) public charity by <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Aura Figueiredo" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1128620/">Aura Figueiredo</a>. Melfi said, in a recent phone conversation, "Myself and the other key players in MuzArt feel blessed that someone with Aura&apos;s talent, and international name recognition has committed both time, and talent to further the cause of preserving music and creative arts programs in our schools grades K - 12."<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt World Foundation" href="http://www.muzrtworld.org">MuzArt World Foundation</a> has put into motion a plan to fully utilize the talents of Aura Figueiredo by aligning her talent and unmistakable look to the foundations Platinum Music Libraries, which contains master recordings of songs covering six decades of well known singers and musicians will help bring the hits of yesteryear to life once more along with the standards that are a mainstay with the people of my generation." <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Aura" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1128620/">Aura</a> has a definite opinion of the importance of music in film and television and how sets a mood to the scene, said Melfi.<br />
<br />
Profits from the sales, downloads, artistic and commercial use of the songs from the Platinum Music Libraries both in their original form and with the updated versions which will feature the artists of the 80&apos;s, 90&apos;s and today, will help build and maintain music and creative arts education for children in the Public Schools across the world.<br />
<br />
This catalog includes over 900 Top Ten Billboard charting hit songs that represent a chronology of what has made American music what it is today. Household legends in popular music such as Bill Haley, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino and Alice Cooper are just a few of the names that grace the pop catalog. The whole mission designed by <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzrtworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, and the need to continue the legacy of music and art education, just resonated with her, said Figueiredo in a telephone interview.<br />
<br />
"I extend an invitation to all parents, grandparents, and concerned citizens to help save the music and creative arts programs in our elementary and junior high schools.

      <title>Multi-Platinum R&amp;B Singer Connects With MuzArt and Reunites With R&amp;B Group Champaign</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Latonia, KY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/23/2012 --  When asked what attracted him to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">MuzArt</a>, R&amp;B artist Pauli Carman replied, "What attracted me to the Muzart foundation most, was the fact that there are really people willing to stand up and fight for the rights of those who can&apos;t (The Children). The Children of today are our future and they have the right to the best education and the right to succeed in all areas that they choose, including and especially music and the arts. Music for me is my passion and has been a way of expression, communication, and a feeling of self worth and success in my life since I was a child".<br />
<br />
The President of the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="MuzArt World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">MuzArt World Foundation</a>, Pat Melfi couldn&apos;t be more pleased with the commitment made to the 501(c) (3) public charity by Pauli Carman and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Champaign" href="http://www.champaignband.com/">Champaign</a>. Melfi said, in a recent phone conversation, "Myself and the other key players in MuzArt feel blessed that someone with Pauli&apos;s talent, and international name recognition has committed both time, and talent to further the cause of preserving music and creative arts programs in our schools grades K – 9."<br />
<br />
Pauli, reuniting with the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="multi-platinum group" href="http://www.champaignband.com/">multi-platinum group</a> will be represented by talent agent Milliea Taylor McKinney, of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Conscious Music Entertainment" href="http://www.conscious-music-entertainment.net">Conscious Music Entertainment</a>. When we asked Ms McKinney, what her thoughts were concerning the group she stated she was speechless saying "a group with talents, and a heart such as this does not exist today giving of themselves especially coming back to support such a worthy cause is truly unheard of today. The talent, and love for music is what is needed to bring awareness to those who can help in the preservation of the finer arts such a s music. Having an icon such as Pauli, be the first can only demonstrate how important this cause is says McKinney, concluding her comments by inviting other celebrities, and artist to get involved saying their contributions could earn them a scholarship to be named after them that they will give to those schools who qualify for that grant". Those interested should contact her through Conscious Music Entertainment.<br />
<br />
It probably would come as quite a surprise to Champaign&apos;s fans around the globe that Pauli Carman, I decided when the group stopped touring in 1985 to take a break to teach 5th graders.<br />
<br />
The combination of music education for children and the need for funding to save the programs in the schools was like a magnet, drawing Pauli, into the vision and purpose of MuzArt. "What I hope most for the association with the Muzart Foundation is to be able to be with the fighting team for a wonderful cause and to see it come to fruition, and that music education stays in all Public Schools", stated Pauli.<br />
<br />
Those humanitarian artist whose heart cares to give their time to preserve the legacy of music and art education are encouraged to reach out to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Muzart World Foundation" href="http://www.muzartworld.org">Muzart World Foundation</a>, or Conscious Music Entertainment. Together we can continue music for the next generation while keeping instruments playing a tune all humanity can sing, and dance to.<br />
<br />
Pat Melfi, President of the MuzArt World Foundation has put into motion a plan to fully utilize the talents of Pauli Carman and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Champaign" href="http://www.champaignband.com/">Champaign</a> by aligning the group&apos;s talent and unmistakable sound to the foundations Platinum Music Libraries, which contains master recordings of songs covering six decades. Artists such a Pauli and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Champaign" href="http://www.champaignband.com/">Champaign</a> along with other well known singers and musicians will help bring the hits of yesteryear to life once more along with the standards that are a mainstay with the people of my generation", said Melfi.<br />
