Gizmodo speculates that Rock Band 3 will support a keyboard peripheral, which could actually teach people how to play piano. It may not teach them how to read music, but Billy Corgan can't either.
I'm re-learning piano. Slowly.
My first instrument was the piano, but I regretfully did not commit myself to mastering it. I can only play two songs by heart: "Yankee Doodle" and the theme to Jurassic Park.
All my parents hoped for was that I'd someday be able to play "Für Elise." I disliked practicing, however, and thus progressed slowly. Before I could play "Für Elise," I had abandoned my piano for a trombone and then a cello and then an upright bass and then the cello again.
I was a mediocre cellist until I committed myself to mastering cello…the summer before heading off to university, where the orchestra conductor cut me off mid-audition and I permanently stored mine away. My heart subsequently drifted back to piano and its versatile, dulcet OOOH! DJ Hero!
Turntablism is rad.

What is that picture on your header of the two guys with guns. Looks hilarious.
It's a still from The Baader Meinhof Complex, the German entry for Best Foreign Language Film at next year's Oscars.
