West
Philadelphia/Yeadon Borough- Doris J. Hall-James, Master Music Professional,
studio owner/CEO of the Simply Music Incorporated music studio, and Gilbert
Franklin Lomax Jr., a Master Music Professional as well, encourage youth and
adults to volunteer in helping recording sessions which changes lives.
One
fine goal of Hall-James, who is the studio owner and the CEO of Simply Music,
is to ensure you feel at ease there so that you can relax, work effectively,
and enjoy the music recording process.
Doris
and Gilbert, of the Simply Music studio, are skilled music producers, and they receive
donations from businesses and families to help fund studio time for young
people and adults.
Through
the program which is a non-profit, young people and adults who do community
service are encouraged to take musical instrument lessons (piano, flute,
guitar, and other aspects of music training such as vocal coaching,
songwriting, music theory studio recording, and music software). The results of
the lessons are posted in a newsletter and newspaper involving the Yeadon
Borough Mayor, the Yeadon Borough Public Library, and local and national music
artists in Philadelphia.
For
more serious lessons, “students and professionals receive recording studio time
at the Simply Music studio at a cost,” says Doris, owner, a skilled piano
lesson instructor, and formerly a singer, has performed in Philadelphia and
surrounding areas over the years and regularly teaches at the Simply Music
Studio located at 251 South 60th Street near the corner of 60th and
Irving Street West Philadelphia.
Gilbert’s musical
career, spanned five decades, has earned his reputation as a top creator of
Soul, Gospel, Jazz music, and more. He has distinguished himself as
a “songwriter, a producer, an arranger, and a music studio executive for
Doris’s and his Green Room Audio Sounds Studio (GRASS),” says Lomax Jr. The
Green Room Audio Sounds Studio is located in West Philadelphia also.
And
outside of music, “I’m also a military veteran, a gardening advocate, and
helped launch singing careers in r & b music,” he said during a Green Room
Sounds Project discussion.
Both
Doris and Gilbert have earned their reputation as leaders of music education
and entertainment in the studio in the city and borough.
“Their
work at the music studio promotes volunteering in the street and work activity,”
says the Mayor of the Yeadon Borough, Mayor Rohan Hepkins when meeting about
the Simply Music song producers effort to help reduce violence in both Yeadon
and Philadelphia areas.
Doris
and Gilbert have been writing songs for musicians and want to give back to the
music community that's helped them over the years.
They
are trying to use music and sound as a means to U-turn students in the
direction of achievement. Youth and
Adults who are interested in making use of the Simply Music
studio can also volunteer in ways they believe can build success.
Musical
instrument volunteer teachers and volunteer clerical workers are welcome to
help.
Until
others start coming along to help support the non-profit group, Simply Music
studio is funded solely by Doris and Gilbert. A few sponsors have helped with
musical equipment needed to build the studio.
