Anyone play Piano/Keyboard?
I'm playing the piano again after a 6 year hiatus, and I'm obviously very rusty, so now i don't have a piano teacher nor the money to pay one (
 ) where does one go for pretty decent learning online. Something all the way up to grade 8 would be fantastic since i used to play to grade 7 and i wouldn't mind if i maybe finished that. This is one of those wish I'd never stopped moment really...I'm also looking for sheet music too. I don't care where it comes from either and prefer it all to be freely available (one way or another  ).Danke Schon!

Bah, I found a great site for modern sheet music the other week and can't remember what I Googled for to find it. I'll have a think and post back.
Keyboard player here, but self taught, parents could barely afford the equipment let alone the lessons.

My son is a self taught composer and player. Not much help here, but if you get back into it, Noteworthy Composer is a good program for hooking the keyboard up to the computer (especially since I have a Key for it and it's a download. Hint, hint).

I'm in exactly the same boat actually. Got to grade 8 (but never took it) when I was 17 but never really played since I left home. I was thinking of getting a Juno-D and getting back into it at home, but then using it as a synth in my band.

 Phykell, i have been previously tutored and i was studying for my grade 7 before i packed it in because i was young and stupid As it stands i'm not really after any more qualifications as it goes, but i do want to read up on my theory again. Chord composition etc... It interests me and it's helpful when i'm just playing around.I'm just looking to play popular music at present really, i've got all the coldplay sheet music, so i'm just busying my way through that. Everyone loves coldplay! I've got a ton of other "popular sheet music" as well, but after checking out a few songs from the collection some of them are poorly written/composed, and obviously not the real sheet music. I may look into a few classical pieces sometime in the future, this is probably the main reason i entered for grades, i enjoyed playing the music in the books! Quote:
. Wait? So overly protective, who do you think i am!?! I'm shocked!
