They are worth it if you use a MIDI keyboard (not a touch screen) and give it the amount of practice and diligence necessary. If you are someone who just wants to play some riffs and your favorite hit songs, you can easily learn from YouTube videos, books, apps, online courses, and so on without an instructor. However, it is particularly essential to become a piano performer and perhaps also read sheet music. Either way, you will find yourself greatly motivated to continue working.
