History
Established in 1993.
Jim began studying drum set at age 12 and has been actively playing (and learning!) ever since. In 1995, He began teaching at Merritt Music of New Canaan CT. Demand grew rapidly, and soon a private music studio was opened in Westport, and Newtown CT. "We must be the luckiest people ever." Jim explains: "To be able to share music ideas with these wonderful interested and aspiring musicians. - Where can you find better company than that? It's a real privilege for us." Being aware of the needs of every music student, and having extensive connections in the music industry, Jim has assembled a staff of the right kind of pupil-oriented instructors (all instruments) who can truly connect with a student at their level, and provide the focus, insight, and attention that makes music lessons have much deeper value and meaning. Just ask any of our students: They say it best by showing continued loyalty year after year. Some enjoying their musical studies as long as 11 years.

Jimmy Lane is a drummer, teacher and the founder. He began taking drum lessons at age 12 and has been actively playing, teaching (and learning!) ever since. In 1993, He began teaching at Merritt Music of New Canaan CT. Demand grew rapidly, and soon a private music lessons facility was opened in Westport, where it is today and has expanded throughout southern Connecticut into Newtown, Southport, Fairfield, Weston, Wilton, Norwalk, Redding, and New Canaan. While drums have always been Jim's passion, a dream was realized of expansion, which clearly needed to include lessons for all instruments: Guitar, Piano, Drums, Cello, Violin, Flute, Bass, Percussion, Clarinet, Viola, Saxophone, Keyboard and Vibraphone. Along with this, Jim manages to maintain a roster of between 30-40 steady drum students per week with unmatched longevity and loyalty.
