Keyboard Lessons

Not to do with guitars and Shadows music, but has anyone come across any decent "teach yourself keyboard" courses with exercises and pointers for physical technique?

The best I ever found was a course by Ian Sillett. Whether or not it's still available I don't know. Everything else is very theoretical and relies on an ability to sight read or learn to do so.

Ian is quite approachable, details can be found here:

Thanks Bob. I'll follow up on Ian Sillett. Still, I wouldn't mind improving my sight reading! I have a reasonable idea of scales/chords/harmony etc. What I really need is some help on what finger(s) to use in various situations etc and some exercises to get me more fluent at changing shapes and moving around the keyboard.

Anyone found anything onthe net?
