This week on Kids Commute, we'll explore the world of ragtime music with an expert guide - Peter Bergin!
Bergin, a local ragtime hero, teaches us all about this catchy music - its origins, what makes it ragtime, and what makes it so popular.
He also plays us some fabulous rags on the piano in IPR's Studio A!
We'll have a rag "time" Quizlet for you, too.
Tune in to Kids Commute weekdays at 7:40 and 3:20, or listen any time at the links!
