11 Year Old Plays Disneyland Ragtime Piano 

Lmao 😂😂

Not bad

Presumably because you don’t focus on one instrument. Maple leaf rag is tough, but if he is playing better than you then I highly doubt what you’re saying is true. His playing is okay at most.

(Ryder’s Dad) Keys isn’t the only instrument he plays…nor is it the primary instrument he plays. He learned to play Maple Leaf Rag in its entirety on his own, without a piano teacher. He was invited as a guest by a rep from major keyboard company to play as a guest artist at their exhibit at NAMM, the biggest music trade show there is. His playing ability speaks for itself.

I used to be able to do this, I miss being able to practice an hour a day and still have time for things, I got a family now and I’ve let my skills lapse.

I could also play that at 11! Two talented kids i guess

​@@hahhey1372youre a snob if you thibk his playing is "ok", everyone around him is amazed...

It's decently difficult, mostly the third and fourth part are kinda difficult

I would like to disagree that it's difficult, especially when compared to actually difficult piano pieces like Chopin etudes.

@@Mrncgntu Well compared to those most piano pieces are difficult. But in the realm of ragtime joplins songs this one is maybe midrange. There are some more difficult songs he wrote but also easier ones (id say the entertainer and pineapple rag are easier)

@@dsamurai4725 ok. have a nice day!

@@dsamurai4725 I agree, the third page part after the 2 repeat sections where the right hand chords by themselves sound funky, is kind of hard sometimes

Yeah I don’t get when pianists go over the top

Cut them pianists some slacks 😂. Sometimes they just love the music and get into the groove. Let them show their flair a bit

@@KhanhTheLearner depends on the artist, yes expression and feeling the music is great but with too many they are too aware of themselves and their performance instead of sincere connection to the music.

@@asylumrainit depends on the musical period, such as the romantic period pianist would show lots of emotion while playing but I feel like ragtime was more straight foward and not so over the top

Ryder is self-taught, so he hasn't had a teacher breathing down his neck correcting posture, hand placement, sitting vs. standing. So what you see is Ryder playing and being himself. - Ryder's Dad

Probably took them a while to learn as well

Bro a guy in grade 4 in my school memorized this whole song and played it in assembly infront of everybody

I learned the first 20 bars in 2 hours, but the rest of the song took a while longer. There are 2 difficult sections that waited until the end to learn.

@@RyderPlaysMusic Keep working at your piano. Someday, you'll be a concert pianist. All I can play now is hymns out of the Presbyterian Hymnal! ( The old one, not the one they use now!). 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

What I learned about humans is that for some reason the younger you are, the quicker you learn things. God damnit, why can't we just be like that forever??

Thanks a lot!

LOL, not very many people can play it and was a hard song for me to finally get right! Keep it up!

​@@RyderPlaysMusic nah I dont think its hard. I dont know for how long do you play piano. If you want some Real shit go and check tom brier. He is ragtime master

​@@Chaosmod_PvPno, the middle of this is vicious, and very hard to get as smoothly and stylishly as this young man

@@Chaosmod_PvP Have you heard of what happened to Tom Brier a few years ago? It's actually quite sad he can probably never play piano again.

It's a hard song. There were two sections that I didn't learn for a year.

I can play the first part to the part where it’s going up and i have been playing 3 months

I think we all know that

Thanks

Thanks for the comment! This was Ryder’s first complete song that he learned on keys. Some parts were harder than others, but he taught himself how to play it when he was 10 and took his time learning it. - Ryder’s Dad

That’s true, but no one plays ragtime songs slow at Disneyland!

Probably was nerves affecting him

@@ThemanlymanStan for sure

I've always played standing up, so now it's hard for me to play sitting down.

Thank you!

Thanks!

@@RyderPlaysMusic Your welcome! I don’t think I can even do the right hand slow of this song.

Thank you!

no its not. it is a very entry level song.

Thank you!

Thank you, Jeremie! It was a huge honor to play at Disneyland!

Thanks!

Yes, considering his age and he's self-taught - Ryder's Dad

Next Tom brier

honestly i think its easier at his age. kids can learn stuff significantly easier than adults and it being an easier song on the piano its not that impressive.

Thank you!

The piano and guitar are my games!
