I would memorize the all the keys, and start scales going up the in the circle of fifths. My first piece was... Well actually, it was some kiddy pieces from a little book I found, but I really started playing at Fur Elise, which is a piece I really liked playing and had fun throughout it. I also started with Czerny excersies. Take stuff slow, keep your fingers flat while you play, and play lightly and loosely. If you tighten up your entire hand to play, it'll come out with you gritting your teeth for every note.

Oh, and one more thing. Have fun!

- By the way, I think Chopin etudes are quite difficult. I don't think they'd be good for beginners, but they do give good techniques. I wasn't aware there were many easy ones. I would start with some easier stuff first.
