Have a talk to the bloke upstairs in GM music. He's a really nice guy and you can tell he cares more about getting you involved that pushing a sale.
I have a friend who decided he wanted to start learning piano about a year ago, and did it just from YouTube videos. He can only play a few songs, but they are difficult and he can do them very well.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, as he's not really learning general skills where he could play 'anything' but everyone is different.
