As for the mic, I am looking at the AT2020 around $50. Any others to consider?

Thanks in advance for the response.

Consider getting two mics to allow your grandson to record in stereo. Besides the mic(s) and interface, he will need mic stands and mic cables, as well as headphones, monitor speakers and a table.
