In 1926, Mayerl left the Savoy and opened his 'School of Syncopation' which specialised in teaching modern music techniques such as ragtime and stride piano. It led to the long-running correspondence course, 'How to play like Billy Mayerl'. During this period, he wrote his most famous solo, 'Marigold'. By the late 1930s his correspondence school was believed to have had over 100 staff members and 30,000 students. It closed in 1957.
