You can certainly teach yourself something like music theory, there are some excellent books you can get. Even if you are not willing to spend money than there are also good websites.

Of course it is very valuable to get a teacher to work through other factors than theory such as technique, interpretation etc.

Most amazing jew boots

If you are looking to purchase a book that will give you a good start to music theory : http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/018427/details.html

After going through the book from the link above you will already be well equipped to learn piano. Even after going through the first few chapters (which aren't that long) you will have learn the basics.

I don't like the Associated Board books that make you buy many books just to learn a few basics.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You will be glad to know that it is very simple. The thing is though, basic Music theory is simple to learn like many things. It is only the foundation though and so the difficult task in this context is becoming a great pianist.

Seriously, you will have no difficulty getting through this book fairly quickly. You also fill out small exercises as you go through to make sure that you've got the grasp of each section. You can check your answers are correct in the back pages as well.

Hope this helps.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
