You know what can teach you Braille (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/24/glove-braille-georgia-tech/) and piano a lot more quickly than traditional means? Vibrating gloves, or gloves with haptic feedback, if you will. In fact, IEEE Spectrum (http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/hands-on/diy-musclememory-programmer) senior editor David Schneider was so intrigued by the idea, that he put together his own version to serve as a haptic touch-typing tutor for his 11-year-old son. He admits that his gloves (made using transistors, $14 worth of vibration motors purchased from eBay and long cords connecting them to an Arduino Nano board) aren't as sleek as Georgia Tech's piano-teaching ones (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/24/glove-braille-georgia-tech/). But, hey, they worked, and once he created a program to go along with them, they did their job well enough.
