Well, I will give you the advice you will doubtless get from others:

1. Get a teacher
2. Read Chang's book:

3. Keep reading the forum; use the search function to look for answers to your questions
4. Sooner or later, you will read something here by Bernhard. Pay attention to it!

Best wishes!

Well, why do you want to learn piano if you dont want to get a piano teacher?

You must study under a piano teacher if you want to learn piano. period.

Speaking for myself, I was self-taught, and playing for about 4 years before I ever had a piano teacher, and was considered rather good (for pop music) before I ever took a lesson.
