There are many free resources for piano players of all abilities and ages on the Internet.
You sometimes have to do the usual trawl through commercial sites and old/dead/confusing links, but there are some excellent, fun and educational places out there!
I have been suggesting the following to customers recently:
www.youtube.com Type in 'free piano lessons' or 'how to play piano' or 'how to read music' etc.
You can also type in the name of a tune/band/style followed by 'piano lesson'.
As an example I found this:
www.freepianolessons4kids.com
My long time favorite for theory practice is:
www.emusictheory.com
there is a great note drill exercise here. (You need to have Java installed, which is painless!)
Also, www.musictheory.net is a simple and clear site.
www.ptg.org click resources then 'learning center'. Yes its American, which is slightly different.
If you go to 'for pianists' you can print and cut-out/fold your own Grand Piano!
When you have a spare moment, the most obvious start is to 'Google' such phrases as:
'free piano sheet music for beginners'. Here I found www.8notes.com
or 'free sheet music', etc. There are many thousands of chord based songs on dozens of guitar sites which can be adapted to piano.
www.freebyte.com/music is for advanced music software, etc.
Happy hunting. If you find any fun/easy/simple games for children please let me know:
