Some while ago I created this channel not for entertainment, but
as a means of betterment for those wishing to play the piano keyboard
in the traditionally correct manner.
The captions and description to each video form an integral part of the experience.

Most of what I illustrate is contrary to what is currently perceived as ragtime.
I shudder to think of Joplin's reaction to the slipshod bastardization of his masterpieces if he were alive today.
I dedicate a special series of 4 videos (see "ragtimers busted") to these "performers"

". . . Let the master also, from the very commencement, habituate the pupil to the strict observance of time, and to count while playing; let him shew the pupil how he should play a passage, and cause him to imitate and practise it, till he can perform it with perfect correctness. By this method the pupil will play well what he attempts, and in the end reap the best fruits from his labours."
