I think I've found the solution to sharing tips and teaching keyboards online. It's called MIDIkeyz. You can load any midi files and it shows a keyboard that lights up the keys when triggered. So the student learns from the midi file visually.
What's exciting is the LMS (live midi sync) technology - syncing audio and video and midi together. Their website isn't very clear, but I gather that meant the ability to record voice/audio and video syncing with the midi - so instructional LMS files can be shared. So you should be able to share using your favorite keyboard patch sound that you record instead of the midi sound coming from the recipient's sound-card. And these files can be slowed down, rewound, fast-forwarded, paused etc to suit the student's needs - without change in pitch (time-stretched).

So far, it's sold at gospelmusician.com and priced at $29.99 USD. If you get one or more of their keyboard instructional DVDs for more than $40USD, you get the software free. The software is downloadable and is both PC and Mac compatible.
I'm going to try to see if they are willing to offer a group buy discount. Please have a look at the link and see if you think this is a good idea for SOFT keyboard section to share instructional videos. If you think it's a good idea and would like to have it, please post here so I know how many are interested (the more people interested, the more persuasive power I have to get them to give a group discount).
