Absolutely the best way to learn piano is to take lessons from a good teacher but if you can't schedule or afford regular piano lessons you can learn alot on your own and modern computers have certainly made it all much easier. Here are some good sources.
Despite its child-like sounding name, Rocket Piano is a great course for adult learners but far too challenging for young children. However the games that come with the course are great for anyone needing the ability to quickly recognize notes or cords and are worth the purchase price if that is all you used from the package.
For a very modest cost, Rocket Piano gives you a year's worth of self paced lessons. You download the files, then unzip and print the lesson books. You can also make your own audio CD's to practice along with while sitting at your piano using a MP3 player. There are videos you can play on your computer that demonstrate fingering techniques and games that teach you the names of notes, cords and much more. Rocket Piano is a tremendous value for the price!
