Ragtime Sheet Music

Who it's for

• Piano teachers introducing ragtime to late elementary and intermediate students
• Choir directors seeking secular SATB and part-song arrangements
• Private instructors and hobbyists exploring jazz and blues-inflected styles

What's inside

• Martha Mier's Jazz, Rags & Blues series: four progressive piano books with online audio (late elementary through late intermediate)
• Piano duets and duos for collaborative learning and performance
• SATB choral octavos and part-song arrangements for choir programs
• Works by Scott Joplin, David Marlatt, Melody Bober, and Stephen Flaherty

Things to consider

Start with the level that matches your student's current ability; the Mier series is designed to progress sequentially, so Book 1 serves late elementary pianists while Books 2-4 build technique and rhythmic sophistication. If you need ensemble arrangements, check the voicing options (SATB, SSA/SSAA, TB/TTB) to fit your choir's size and voice parts. Online audio is included with the piano book editions, making it easy to learn the style by ear before performing.
