Pretty sensible self teaching approach. I thought this would be mostly about tools like synthesia, glowing LEDs built into keyboards and Ableton piano rolls.

Pretty sensible self teaching approach. I thought this would be mostly about tools like synthesia, glowing LEDs built into keyboards and Ableton piano rolls. My sense is that not many people get far with self teaching piano but some are happy to be able to e.g. comp chords out of Oscar Peterson's etudes book slowly or play a few pieces out of those Fabor Adult Piano books, which are pretty good. I think most people that try to self teach a difficult instrument, trumpet or violin, give up. My sense of difficult is that anything I didn't learn as a kid is more or less difficult (I had 15 years lessons on 3 instruments)
