What, you gave me *this* free thing? Then why haven’t you given me these *other* free things? OSS logic can be funny. Amazing stuff, but strange at times.

iTalki is such a good use of money if you’re into that kind of thing (it’s basically talking with tutors/native speakers over Skype)

If you're going down the self-learning and exploration path, then I would say following your curiosity is probably a good guide. Either just reading through music, or if you want to play by ear trying to play what you hear. Music is a great joy in life, hope you have fun!

But if you want to work on some specific skills like sight reading, if you put in the elbow grease and hold yourself to a high standard of good habits (steady tempo, play slow if needed, start with easy stuff), then you can improve a lot at those skills on your own.

If you want to really get into playing with proper technique or doing more advanced stuff, I think there's no real substitute for a good in-person teacher. There's no way to really communicate all the technique stuff just through pre-recorded videos I think.

If you want to improve sight reading and you have some of the basics down, then just going through and reading 15 minutes every day at a steady tempo can do wonders. Holding the tempo is key, though, even if slow. I did that with Bach Chorales, painful at first but you learn if you stick with it.

Neat! What kind of music do you want to play? Classical, jazz, pop? Improvised, reading sheet music, playing chords from rock charts? Depends a lot on the goal I’d say
