"The Entertainer" is a classic piano rag written by Scott Joplin in 1902. Now 111 years later, your teacher Lisa is here to teach you this iconic piece!

As one of the classics of ragtime, it returned to international popularity as part of the ragtime revival in the 70s, when it was used as the theme music for the 1973 Oscar-winning film "The Sting", and the Recording Industry Association of America ranked it at #10 on its "Songs of the Century" list!

In North America, "The Entertainer" is one of many songs commonly played by ice cream trucks to attract attention 🍦
