Ha! Many months later and I can finally play everything in this. I'll have you know that this was all just training to play Journey.

Easy to follow instructions and interesting pieces. What more could one ask for? It would also work well for nonpaino playing parents teaching their children the basics.

I feel like this is a pretty straight forward way to learn piano. Especially if you have any past musical experience.
