Introduction: I’m Jimmy Lane. For 25 years now, I have been teaching drum lessons, which is the focus of my life. I began taking drum lessons at age 12 and have been actively playing, teaching and learning ever since. I am a student-centered teacher, truly connecting with each person at their level. My teaching experience ensures that you will be provided with the right focus, insight, and attention, making every learning stage more valuable and meaningful. Sharing my love of drumming and music comes instinctively to me. Child or adult, I always keep the student engaged, inspired and constantly learning. I use a balanced combination of methodology and creative freedoms to ensure transfer of both fun and the fundamentals. This is what builds a love of playing drums, which is my foremost goal with any aspiring player. Whether you want to begin your drumming journey or prepare for a college audition, I will earn your trust and deliver the results needed to accomplish your drumming goals. - Jimmy Lane

If you are looking for drum lessons in the fairfield county area, look no further. Jimmy Lane could not have helped me progress more as a drummer and as a student of music. Starting in 3rd grade with no experience whatsoever, he helped me become an avid drummer and 3 time western regional percussionist. He helped me learn jazz, r&b, and rock. Whatever it is you want to learn, he can teach you. Jim will customize his teaching to help you as an individual whether you are a beginner or advanced percussionist. I have too many great things to say about Jim, give him a try and you will not be disappointed. He will not only be one of the best teachers you have ever had, but also a great mentor.

Wonderful surprise to wake up this morning and find a great review like this, James! How is this semester going so far? I miss seeing you around here bud! Please drop in next break from classes, so we can catch up on life and talk music and drums, OK? (Can't wait!) Many thanks, Jim

Jimmy Lane offers drum lessons that provide both structured instruction and a creative outlet for my son. Jimmy's studio is outfitted with a variety of percussive and other instruments which, combined with Jimmy's encouragement and flexibility, offers the student with varied interests the opportunity to experiment and keep things interesting. Jimmy is a teacher, coach and mentor all at once. He is encouraging and always so positive that my son leaves each lesson with a feeling of pride and accomplishment. Your child will want to keep coming back if they get drum lessons from Jimmy. Why? Because ultimately Jimmy's lessons are engaging and fun, which is frankly 80% of the battle in getting kids to stick with something. I can't recommend Jimmy enough to anyone whose child may have an interest in drums (or music for that matter).

My heart enjoyed a happy 'jump' from reading your words, Zorba! You said it all, precisely, except the part about how (your son) has captivated me in the process. He is really a personality, and a talent blend. It makes for pure joy in the exchange! And getting to know you has been a great thing for me. It does me well to know that there are people like you out there, Zorba! It does me well to know that there are people like you out there, Zorba! -Thank you greatly! -Jim

Been taking drum lessons with Jim for a number of years now.. a real kindred spirit who knows his stuff & has impressive patience for a wide range of client ages, personalities, and skill levels. He's both able and willing to help each student become the musician they want to be. Nice studio setup with pro-level gear and many teaching tools from over the years. Would highly recommend over other lesson outlets in & around town, especially for the self-motivated player; you get out what you put in.

Jim is an excellent drum teacher. My son has studied with him for almost a year and I have sat in on every lesson. Jim creates a positive atmosphere where my son feels safe to learn. He encourages excellence in musicianship by instilling a respect for the instrument and the need for regular practice. But most of all, my son learns and has fun. We have had music lessons elsewhere in Westport and in NYC and he is by far the best teacher we have had. We highly recommend Jim and his studio.

Thank you! (I am blushing) It is easy and a great pleasure serving you and your son. It's families like yours that make this community great. (I could use ten more kids like him!!) Many thanks! -Jim
