Congratulations! Ragtime is a challenging genre but well worth the effort. There is much to be gained from the time spent practicing this style of music. Especially great for the left hand jumping around and the rhythmic syncopation. I've probably been at it a few more years than you. That comfort level comes in time. Norma

Super Fun!!

I'm so glad that you found the more "straight-forward" video helpful as you were learning this piece. That was one of my main goals with our channel was to provide students with a more accurate rendition of a song to help them decipher the musical notation and give them an idea of what it was supposed to sound like. Our channel is more education oriented than entertainment oriented. There are plenty of AMAZING pianists on You Tube that blow our minds with their astonishing skill and ability to make playing the piano an Olympic event but that just isn't a reality for most of us in our piano journey. But we can still gain all of the benefits of making our own music even though it is on a much simpler scale. Keep up the good work!! --Norma

and I'm on plaisir d'amour

I agree with you that they are not in exact order of difficulty. Sometimes I teach them in a slightly different order depending on the student. And sometimes certain students just find certain songs easier to learn than others depending on their skill set. NM
