I taught myself to play the guitar and I've gotten more out of it than I could have ever imagined. That said, I'm not technically proficient. I can play, I can write and use it to be emotive, perhaps in ways that those with technical proficiency cannot.

It's all about your goals. If you teach yourself, you'll never be playing Carnegie Hall with nowaypablo etc. but you may develop your own technique and style unique to you.

I say go for it. Use YouTube. I am currently taking Suzuki violin lessons with my daughter. It's exciting I no earn something new. My guess is that fantastic piano tutorials exist online.

Good luck!
