By the age of six, he was playing the piano (belonging to his neighbour<\/em>). Just a few years later he was studying classical piano, harmony, and music theory. Johnson published over three hundred songs, almost forty being ragtime. He also wrote waltzes, tangos, cakewalks, novelty pieces, and music of that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
