hmmm... i think u can try slow song first.... try to play "Minuet in G" by Bach, that a simple song and easy to learn... after that maybe u can try to learn "Canon in D" by Pachelbel... i cant play keyboard or piano, but i learn to play the song from game, like VOS (Virtual Orchestra System), O2 Jam, and Audition... Enjoy...!

VOS is Virtual Orchestra System, an old game, and we play it like we play piano but we use computer keyboard and only using 7 fingers... if u know bout O2 jam or Audition (similar game like VOS) then u will know bout VOS too... yes it's so fun to play a lot of songs using VOS.... i can play classical, pop, rock, or any songs (but if u wanna add a new song, u must download from the site...)

That's funny, I was thinking of Minuet in G as well. Although, I don't know if Canon in D is really all that easy. Unless you play a watered down version of the song, then it could be made easy.

It depends what genre of music you like. For classical music I would recommend starting out with melody lines and then work up to being able to play the left hand as well. Some of Bach's Minuets are pretty simple.

All I can say is that you want to practice reading music on easy songs until you get comfortable with it. It may take a long time, but stick with it. I learned the right hand really well first and then added the left hand much later. Then the left hand was easy to add because I could already read notes and I knew rhythms and stuff. Best of luck!

You call yourself a beginner. How much of a beginner are you? Have you played the keyboard before and can you read music? Whatever your level, there are music lessons online for just about any instrument. Check for piano also. Check youtube for video lessons. That should help you get started with simple beginner songs and then you can go from there.
