Hello! Iām also learning piano. I have a spring key Casio that I will be upgrading to a weighted key digital piano. Still researching which one. Are you aware of any online site like Justinās, paid or otherwise, that you would recommend for self-paced piano instruction? I see several out there but Iād like some personal recommendations.

I have used a Yamaha Clavinova - it took me from no piano knowledge to Grade 5 in my thirties. They have excellent weighted keys, a beautiful sound and are a pleasure to play. You can plug in headphones to practice without others hearing. There are quite a few versions and prices vary. If I were buying another piano Iād buy another Clavinova.

Yousician has piano lessons
its very similar to the musopia app with lessons
That piano has come up frequently in my searches for the right digital piano for me at this time. As I look for them Iāll list the ones that are often recommended by people here and teachers on youtube and maybe it will help someone in the future.
I will certainly share! I used to use Drumeo, a site for drummers that is similar in approach but not quite as comprehensive as here. There is a piano version of it that Iām checking out later today.
I will look into that, thanks!
I also used this for whileā¦with the caveat that this was several years ago.
Back then, at least, their App was state of the artā¦especially if you used a MIDI cable with your keyboard. It would give you very detailed feedback on wrong notes and timing. Also had a good looping function for practicing difficult sections.
Things that werenāt as good as Justinās stuff:
-Instructional materials were nowhere near as good as Justinās content
-Song selection for the basic paid tier was extremely limited. You had to pay extra to get any reasonable number of songs. This wasnāt cheap - about $30 a month IIRC. Also, a lot of them seemed to be crowd sourced, and the quality was low.
But, as I said, this was several years agoā¦have things improved since then?
And then, thereās also this 
first one is still true but the quality is not too bad either
for the songs its the same price as the musopia app now around 15$ a month or an annual plan
and the quality is as good as musopia too
thats i think the closest to what we get here , thats what I mean ^^

You could purchase one of the Alfredās books and work your way through it with this guy.

Thanks! Iām watching his intro video now.
https://www.pianote.com/ is what Iām seeing that is recommended quite a bit. The main instructor/owner is so bubbly I can hardly handle it, but I would get used to that in time.
Ah Pianote is part of Musora. I used their Drumeo for ā¦ drums.

I like this guy on YouTube because of his calm and non-click baity videos. There is no structured course yet but he might soon have some by 2025.

Hi @WonderMonkey we have a piano in the house but Iāve never played itā¦that is, until about six weeks ago when I decided to give it a go. I searched something like āblues piano for beginnersā on YouTube and found this.
After several highly satisfying rounds absorbing the instruction in that video (well, mostly the first half of that video), I decided to look at the associated websiteāwhich is Pianote.
I joined and Iām really digging it. As you noted, the main instructor/owner is really bubbly, and even though effervescence aināt my style, I think sheās great.
I have been going through the āMethodā, which is the foundational core of the site (like Justinās grades 1-7) while at the same time dipping into some other material like blues scales and boogie basics.
As of yesterday, Iām through the first section of the Method, which culminates in two lessons on the I-V-VI-IV progression of the famous little ditty by Paul McCartney about when he finds himself in times of trouble etc.
Thereās a backing track with drums, bass, and singing (turns out that the main instructor, whose name is Lisa, has a fantastic voice) where you get to sit in as the pianist. Itās so much fun just getting the chords in time, and then mixing up the left & right hands. There are backing tracks with and without piano, and (moving away from this specific song right now), thereās a lot of great stuff on the site.
I definitely cannot evaluate Pianote against other apps or websites, as itās the only one Iāve used. But as a JustinGuitar enthusiast & monthly donor I can say that Iām pretty happy with Pianote.

@quare_dubitasti that is exactly what I joined up! I am also going through the method and have camped out on āLet It Beā as well. I could move forward, but Iām not going to until I feel I am doing āGood Enoughā. If you havenāt listened to her slowed-down version that comes with the resources, Iām really enjoying it and am currently at that speed.
I used Drumeo, which is part of Musora, when I used to play drums.
Thatās pretty much where Iām atāon one of those backing tracks with instruments (but minus piano) where sheās singing. Iām kind of camped out too, playing around with different left/right hand options. So much fun.
Enjoy!
