The Entertainer

Scott Joplin

Joplin’s playful rag rewards patient practice. Let the left hand establish its regular stride before adding the right.

Make a little progress

  1. Listen once and watch where the notes meet the keyboard.
  2. Set playback to half speed. Hear the right hand on its own.
  3. Choose two bars and switch on the loop.
  4. Add the left hand when the phrase feels familiar.
