Let’s start with my favourite song story.

“Piano Man” is a fictionalized retelling of real people Joel met during his days as a piano-lounge singer in Los Angeles, after the failure of his first album. Joel’s own personal feelings about this failure are expressed in the failed dreams of the characters in his song. At the time, Joel was trying to get out of a bad deal with the record company Family Productions, so, according to Joel, he was “hiding out” at the bar, performing under the name Bill Martin while Columbia Records tried to get him out of the deal.

Do you want to learn simple techniques to play the piano like Billy Joel ?If the answer is yes, then you have to follow a pattern.
The pattern is that you need to listen to some of Joel songs, then visualize yourself into playing those perfectly.
What are the steps in between ?You will need to have a piano or a keyboard, and then you will need to have a teacher.
I had the pleasure and the great gift of having a superb teacher as pianist. His plan was to give me fewer pieces but difficult so I would increase my capacities. Thus in three years of lessons I did what other would generally do in five  six years.
Basically I got blessed and learned from one best teacher around.What else did i learn ?That when you commit to something, even through problems you need to have the faith and keep working.
Sometimes I would perform pieces that were difficult or that I did not like, but they were meant to teach me something and to let me grow.
Have you ever heard that repetition makes perfect ?
Then yes, that is you have a nice plan, you visualize your outcome, then you repeat it over and over until you achieve success.
Those are the mains techniques used to learn to play the piano even as a master such Billy
To your piano success
