Hi all,
 
It's time that I bit the bullet and learned how to play piano. I have way too much invested in soft synths to keep banging on a keyboard like an ape, and guitar to midi just doesn't get me there. :)
 
Is there a good software product for learning piano? Time is limited and I'm not stoked about trying to get to weekly lessons...

I'm going to venture that THIS is probably pretty good..

but I can't swear to that...

$125.99 with code GROUP

James, there's probably some good stuff on Youtube (for free) to get you started.....

THAT is ALWAYS my first destination...to see if it's out there for free..

Piano for dummies or Idiots guide to Piano.  $20 or free if you go to your local library.
 
really go to your library and check out some books - it's free, you can get by.  if you already know guitar and the notes then it should be just fingers to keys practice, you already know what a chord is and that's more than most hobbyists know.
 
Libraries have DVDs, books, etc for free check out.  invaluable resource especially for something like fundamental learning.

I have been doing the same thing the last year or so, youtube is a great resource and has plenty of diversity for different needs.
 
I did use a free program called Jalmus which was good for price! which required you to use your midi keyboard to follow pieces of music and also helped with sight reading as well.

Playground Sessions. Well thought out and motivating. YouTube of course for all sorts of things.

thanks guys! I think I'll check out Playground Sessions simply because I'd like to follow a program. My son learned some cool stuff on youtube though, so that bears a search as well.
 
Much appreciated! :)

Check out PlayPianoToday.com. For $29.95 there is a 3 month subscrition during which you can download all the courses. Starts with the very basics up to some pretty detailed concepts. Includes video lessons, finger excercises, charts, backing tracks, an ear training program, daily practice plans and pdfs. My main instruments are guitar and bass and I wanted to improve my piano playing. This has worked very well for me.  

This is a good program, reasonably priced, and you don't have to commit to anything:

And if you do stick with it, there's an intermediate level program that you can follow up with down the road.
