Composed especially for Alijam Music’s first exhibit at the 2017 FSMTA conference in Coral Gables, Florida (that was unfortunately canceled because of Hurricane Irma), Biltmore Syncopations is a classic ragtime piece that evokes the elegant spirit of the landmark hotel.
Biltmore Syncopations is one of those endearing ragtime pieces that will become favorites of teachers and students. Written with a genuine AABBA ragtime form, it captures the sophisticated elegant relaxation of those who could afford to stay at the Miami-Biltmore hotel when it opened in 1926.

Students who are eager to play the great masterworks will appreciate this simplified arrangement of the first theme from Chopin’s Étude in E major.
James L. King III’s Rag Goo will stimulate the appetite for ragtime by introducing the simplest syncopation in a short, fun, easily learned piece.
Students who can only play faster and fastest will get challenged with this scorching breakneck-velocity recital standout!
