Ragtime was a sensation that overtook the United States at the turn of the 20th century and Scott Joplin was the man responsible for bringing it into the forefront. A classically trained musician, Joplin's lifelong goal was to see ragtime accepted as a serious artform. However his life was tragically cut short and Joplin never saw many of his dreams fulfilled.
In this virtual library program presented by Dan Lupo, you will learn about what made ragtime so special as you delve into the details of Joplin’s life and enjoy select pieces by the king of ragtime writers.
Dan Lupo has published over 15 books on music and music theory through his book publishing company Encore Music Books. He is the owner of A to G School of Music, as well as the founder of Five Minute Mozart - an online video tutorial program which provides music theory education for beginning to intermediate students. With well over two million total views, these video courses have been seen in every country and state and are currently being utilized by music teachers and students all over the world.
This event is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library.
Registration is required. Information on how to access the Zoom event will be emailed to you the day before the program.
