I recently got hold of a second hand piano, and have been learning music from scratch just for fun - must say it is great and can recommend it. I have made good progress too, in just a few months (helped I think from having a keen interest in house and being amateur DJ back in the day). Ultimately I want to be able to play the oldskool house and disco classics and I am keen to get hold of some of the basic chords and melodies for the big oldskool house classics. Can anyone recommend any books or websites etc? I've found very little on this subject.

check davos in this. you could try contacting him through barrie jay (who's on osa) or maybe through facebook. he might be able to help.
i dunno if you can pick up anything from the video in terms of where his fingers are on the keyboard. probably a proper word for it but i'm not a musician. lol
good luck.

If you do get in contact with Davos I'd be really interested. There are a few other bits on YouTube.

Hello there,
The Fastest, Easiest Way to Learn to Play from Sheet Music. This is fairly good for a beginner. It avoids the trap of being overly complicated. It covers the important areas including creating chords, melody, harmony, and a handful of other elements. This operates at a moderate pace, but does not get too detailed about the advanced areas of musical theory.
