Westport Drum Lessons by Jimmy Lane

Jimmy Lane is a drummer, teacher and the founder of Westport Drum Lessons. He began taking drum lessons at age 12 and has been actively playing, teaching (and learning!) ever since. In 1995, He began teaching at Merritt Music of New Canaan CT.  Demand grew rapidly, and soon private drum lessons were made available in Westport, and has expanded throughout southern Connecticut into Southport, Fairfield, Weston, Wilton, Norwalk, Redding, and New Canaan. Was  Jim manages to maintain a roster of between 30-40 steady drum students per week with unmatched longevity and loyalty.  "I must be the luckiest person ever." Jim explains: "To be able to share music ideas with these wonderful, interested and aspiring drummers. - Where can you find better company than that? It's a real privilege for me”.  Jim learned the basics from college professor Ray Alexander, who studied with Henry Adler, who was known as the premier drum teacher of the New York scene for the last 55 years. Mr. Adler was well known in the drumming industry as the teacher who was responsible for assisting musically and professionally - the greatest drummer of ALL times: the world famous - Buddy Rich. - The two collaborated on writing the classic and timeless drum method book "Buddy Rich's Snare Drum Rudiments", which is an integral part of Jim's drumming curriculum. There is no substitute for the right fundamental foundation. The students who work with Jim know that they have found the "main vein" of learning the drums. And it is exciting to know that they can trace their roots back to the great Mr. Buddy Rich himself... Jim is pupil-oriented instructor, able to teach beginners, novices, and experts by truly connecting with student at their level, and provide the right focus, insight, and attention that makes drum lessons have much deeper value and meaning. He keeps pupils engaged, inspired and constantly learning: the guiding principle. Jim’s students say it best by showing continued loyalty year after year. Some enjoying their drum studies as long as 11 years. We confidently say that those who choose Jim are getting it all: Real world playing experience carefully customized to be enjoyable based on the pupil’s needs.

And this week, we celebrate four beloved members of our community: these seniors grew up among us, shaped by this congregation, and are now ready to carry their light into the world. Join us as we honor their journey and send them forward with love.Finally, and with great excitement, we are pleased to have our next minister, the <a href="https://uucstamford.org/our-minister/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Reverend Terri Dennehy</a>, join us and participate in the service, even as she finishes her 5-years' service with her uplifting UU congregation in Stamford. &nbsp;We are so grateful she is able to celebrate our children and youth with us and join us for a bit afterwards: so many of us are eager to meet her!

Hi! Jimmy Lane is a drummer, teacher and the founder of Westport Drum Lessons. He began taking drum lessons at age 12 and has been actively playing, teaching (and learning!) ever since. In 1995, He began teaching at Merritt Music of New Canaan CT.&nbsp;
Demand grew rapidly, and soon private drum lessons were made available&nbsp;in Westport, and has expanded throughout southern Connecticut into Southport, Fairfield, Weston, Wilton, Norwalk, Redding, and New Canaan. Was&nbsp; Jim manages to maintain a roster of between 30-40 steady drum students per week with unmatched longevity and loyalty.&nbsp;
"I must be the luckiest person ever." Jim explains: "To be able to share music ideas with these wonderful, interested and aspiring drummers. - Where can you find better company than that? It's a real privilege for me&rdquo;.&nbsp;
Jim learned the basics from college professor Ray Alexander, who studied with Henry Adler, who was known as the premier drum teacher of the New York scene for the last 55 years. Mr. Adler was well known in the drumming industry as the teacher who was responsible for assisting musically and professionally - the greatest drummer of ALL times: the world famous - Buddy Rich. - The two collaborated on writing the classic and timeless drum method book "Buddy Rich's Snare Drum Rudiments", which is an integral part of Jim's drumming curriculum.
There is no substitute for the right fundamental foundation. The students who work with Jim know that they have found the "main vein" of learning the drums. And it is exciting to know that they can trace their roots back to the great Mr. Buddy Rich himself...
Jim is pupil-oriented instructor, able to teach beginners, novices, and experts by truly connecting with student at their level, and provide the right focus, insight, and attention that makes drum lessons have much deeper value and meaning. He keeps pupils engaged, inspired and constantly learning: the guiding principle.
Jim&rsquo;s students say it best by showing continued loyalty year after year. Some enjoying their drum studies as long as 11 years.
We confidently say that those who choose Jim are getting it all: Real world playing experience carefully customized to be enjoyable based on the pupil&rsquo;s needs. Step by step, the students get all of the building blocks that the greatest drummers past and present have acknowledged spurred them on to succeeding with this exciting, exhilarating&nbsp;instrument. With Jim as your coach, you are guaranteed to have tons of fun, mixed with the right foundation for playing &nbsp;&nbsp;We always look forward to getting to know people who want to learn!
