Anybody wishing to learn to play piano well and have fun doing it should learn from Dan Delaney.  Although I haven't yet been able to meet Dan face-to-face, I've been his student for the past five years, wherever I was stationed, including Iraq.  I look forward every month to receiving my new personalized lesson from Dan.  It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner or an accomplished player.  Even if you've never touched a keyboard, he gets you up and playing things in no time, and will take you to whatever level you want.  What's more, Dan's focus on jazz and blues has you learning those techniques from the beginning, rather than trying to shift over later from some other style.  In fact, he has you doing simple improvisation from the first lesson.  At the same time, unlike some other courses, Dan's does not neglect a sound basis of technical skills that you will draw on in a lifetime of piano-playing.  Try his technique -- you won't regret it.

Dan, A few weeks ago I came across the notes you gave me at the lessons I took from you at P.V. Community College way back in 2004. I've been writing chords and melodies to go with poetry I've been writing, and entering contests. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your sharing chord knowledge! It's a great method and you're and excellent instructor.<

Dan, I consider you a true genious... since I teach, too, it's amazing what you've done w/technology and component "plug-ins"... and I consider myself fortunate and enriched to have worked with you in your early days. I'm giving a program to the New England Piano Teachers' Assoc on how to teach jazz (go figure... me!)... and picking up many pointers to this classical group, esp. your contrary scales w/all those finger sets, the permutations, and contrast what can happen when you know how to alter a straight dom. 7 chord. That'll appeal to them! Also giving them some structures for different age/skill brackets for working out improvs with the blues. You're the best! And I'll be attributing everything to you.
