You can start by looking in Youtube, I think they have some good free piano lessons.

dident find any real good ones is there any site where its good detalied lessons?

Here's a link: Learn How to Play Piano, Free Online Piano Lessons, A Friendly Place to Learn Music :: Welcome to the Home/Lounge Page!

He has his videos posted on YouTube but you can access them through the site.
He's quite humorous at times so the lessons aren't lifeless and boring.

Also try you local library for books on playing piano. There are nomerous. But i can also recommend getting piano lessons from are flesh and blood teacher. He/she can help you with what to do and all your questions.

Btw which peyboard are you gonna buy?

not sure which im gonna buy yet :o shops are closed stoday so i gotta go tomorrow for a look

Why not just find a real pianist to give you lessons? I'm sure there are at least 10 in your town. To be perfectly honest, no one on the internet is going to teach you jack, and you'll just wind up picking up bad habits. You need to do the same thing everyone else did on their instruments, find a teacher, work your ass off, or both

A teacher is a must to learn good piano techniques. Try attending at least 10 classes, I am not fan of keyboard and surely cannot advise you on that. Try buying a digital piano, a used one should be relatively cheap. Then again it depends what kind of music you are interested in. If you are in to classical then a digital piano or if possible an upright one may be good option. Well that is my 2c

It depends on what you want to do really. If you just want to plunk out a few notes on a Radio-Shack toy keyboard, youtube lessons would be fine. If you want to be a serious player, get a real piano and take real lessons. Pianos don't have to be as expensive as you think. I see free pianos on craigslist and freecycle all the time. Spend a few hundred bucks to move it and get it in tune and you'll be set.

i dont think i`ll be playing much on the keyboard but i heard from some other guys on the forum that i`td be good to learn befor begining composing i want to make theme songs and such for some series and such i`ll also be using virutual instruments in my sound software but i got no idea where to start
