Just learn how to read the notes then get some music and just try it. You will probably make mistakes at first but u will get it in the end. It would be best to start of with a shorter song and gradually choose longer ones once u get more confidence.

I would suggest that if you don't already - you must have a keyboard and you must practice 2-3 hours a day - that is - if you want to be good! Gone are the days of the "piano teacher" I think. Today, there are so many other ways to learn to play piano. I would go to the library and check out videos for beginners. Not only can you "see" and "hear" the music played, most of the "teachers" are pretty good. Get yourself a good music book - I recommend - Michael Aaron - although some people like John Thompson. Both have series that start from beginners and advance levels toward 12th grade. I have always kept old song books and daily, I would take a page and write the notes so that I would get familiar with the notes in the left and right hand. Again - practice. Listen to music on the radio and use your keyboard to help you learn the music. A lot of people learn "by ear" and often are better free-style players than those who have taken years and years of lessons. I took lessons for 6-7 years - but I honestly believe that my best playing came about when I turned the music 'loose' and started playing by ear. Listen to all kinds of music genres - classical, jazz, gospel, christian, pop, latin, everything! And again - practice, practice, practice. You will have to get those fingers stretched - so you can have your thumb on one "c" and your little finger on the "c" one octave higher. I encourage you - piano playing is the most soothing, relaxing and self-motivating instruments you can learn. I got so many jobs after I learned - and it helps if you can sing too. Good luck. I wish you well. Oh, and practice.

learn basics like chord, scale, measures etc. Listen to music as much as you can and try to play the same. But this is very slow pace of learning it. If you learn notation, then you will learn playing quickly.

If there was an easy way to learn, everyone would do it.
