It does not matter what instrument you play everyone should learn piano or keyboard. I spend much of my teaching time teaching piano and keyboard lessons to people who are taking it as a second instrument. I have been planning at some point to make my own keyboard educational material on-line, until I checked out Rocket Piano. Rocket Piano does everything I would want a music education program to do. Rocket Piano comes with hundreds of sound files, pictures, diagrams, videos in step-by-step instructions training you to play by ear, read music, recognize chord shapes and more. With Rocket Piano you get 3 high quality books taking you from beginner to advanced levels in a step-by-step method. I still think one should still get private lessons but with Rocket Piano you could make real progress before you would need private instruction. Worth the time to have a look.
