Ragtime Sheet Music
About this collection
Ragtime Sheet Music
Ragtime sheet music spans everything from classic Scott Joplin masterworks to contemporary ragtime-inspired compositions for piano, choir, and concert band. Martha Mier's popular Jazz, Rags & Blues series anchors the collection with progressive piano books from late elementary through late intermediate, each with online audio accompaniment. You'll also find Broadway-sourced pieces like Stephen Flaherty's "Wheels of a Dream" from the musical Ragtime, plus works by composers like Melody Bober and David Marlatt that bring the syncopated rhythms and improvisational spirit of ragtime to modern classrooms and concert halls.
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

- 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.
