Preparatory/Beginner Piano Lessons and Tutorials
Preparatory/Beginner Piano Lessons is the place to start if you're a complete beginner at the piano. In this area, we'll learn how to read music and rhythms, cover some basic concepts like scales and chords, and learn some pieces while we're at it.
This level is equivalent to the RCM Preparatory level. I've designed this list so that it flows sequentially - if you start from the top and work your way down, you should be good. If you want to jump around, you can, especially if you've played a bit before, but some tutorial videos contain deeper explanations of concepts like chords.
For the tutorials and sheet music, you can either learn one at a time, or overlap pieces. I personally like having several songs on the go at once. Don't be discouraged if some of these pieces take you around a month to really master. Some will be fast for you, and others more challenging, depending on your skillset and coordination.

RCM Preparatory A & B: Piano Technique
This video is a play-through of all the technical requirements for these levels. Preparatory A corresponds with the first year of lessons, and preparatory B with the second. Of course, as an adult beginner, you'll probably sail through both levels in about a year total.
