About three years ago, I started teaching myself piano with the help of YouTube and it’s been a great experience.
The secret.
Don’t be intimidated, don’t be discouraged, and don’t be greedy.
Just show up every day and BATHE in the pleasure of the new sounds you are discovering – and remember to breathe.
I can tell you two more things:
It’s not rocket science and it *is* rocket science.
It’s rocket science in the hands of people like Thelonious Monk.
Speaking of hands, here is one of the best videos ever showing the HANDS of a master pianist at work.
Don’t try this at home.
Monk is not using “good technique.”
He’s using a genius technique of his own creation and it’s a wonder to behold as well as hear.

Made in 1930 by Universal.
The first motion picture to use a pre-recorded soundtrack made independently of the actual filming.
This was only the 19th talking picture filmed entirely in two-color Technicolor. At the time, blue was not one of the options in color films.
Art director Herman Rosse and production director John Murray Anderson came up with some ingenious workarounds including using filters and other innovations which created an almost blue tint (more like turquoise in the original.)
