I really like "How Music Really Works" by Wayne Chase. It's a little windy at times, but covers the physics and then builds Western music theory on top of that, eg explaining why we have the notes we do, why scales are constructed as they are, why we divide time, and then gets into harmony and melody and songwriting using those blocks. I found it very helpful for getting "the language" to then help understand other materials. (The publisher sells direct; gently caress Amazon.)

Also don't forget that applying knowledge is a critical part of learning.

I don't know about piano, but on guitar I find around 45 minutes of focused practice is about my limit before I need a break.

YouTube works, too. Can out them all in one video with chapter markers, or separate videos grouped into a playlist.
