Gibson Music and Arts

67 years. Purchasing The Zapf Music School provided Professor Gibson the opportunity to take over 450 plus students, 40 teachers, an office clerk, a few instruments and the lease for a 12,000 square foot building. His original vision for the business included a music conservatory, recording and rehearsal studios, exhibition for art work (painting & drawings) and a recital hall. The enrollment, diversity and profits increased after several years of Professor Gibson taking over. Zapf Music Store continued to operate their music store adjacent to GSMS for the next 10 years. In 2003 we purchased the 12,000 square foot building which is located in the center of a business district of the Olney section in Philadelphia. Currently, it is a multicultural community which makes it unique.
