Intro

Ragtime

A form of music in which bass notes play on onbeats, chords play on offbeats, and melodic accents are syncopated and occur between beats. It is mostly piano-centric, though there are also prominent examples of guitar-based ragtime music. Ragtime developed in the American Midwest in the late 19th century by African American musicians who added distinctively African syncopation and polyrhythms to the popular march style of music.
