Answer 1

Chords are three or more tones stacked or played together. They sound better in the middle or top of the keyboard, because the sound waves don't crash ionto each other. Most beginning pianists play the chords in the left hand, and most play them too low. That's why a lot of beginning music frankly, sounds bad. Avoid music with chords in the bass, unless the chords are towards the middle of the keyboard. Some simple examples of chords

C - E - G C major chord
C Eb (E flat) - G C minor chord
G - B - D - G major chord
G - Bb - D G minor chord
G - B - D - E G major chord with an added sixth or G6

Flats and sharps are mostly the Black Keys on the piano. Like everything else in music, this is not always true, but in the beginning, that's a good rule of thumb.

Exceptions:

B# (B Sharp) is the enharmonic name for C natural (a white key)
E# (E Sharp) is the enharmonic name for F natural (a white key)

Cb (C flat) is the enharmonic name for B natural
Fb (F flat) is the enharmonic name for E natural

You'll notice that these exceptions all have to do with the fact that there is no black key between E and F, and B and C. There are more exceptions, but you'll learn about them as you go along.

I stuck a bunch of links below. They all lead you to piano lesson sites and free sheet music sites. The Gilbert DiBenedetti site is one of my favorites (could you tell) and I have to admit that I haven't gone through all of the sites completely. Some of them may ask you to pay for things. Use your own judgment. I did go to all of the sites and make sure that they were active, at least as of the time I wrote this. If you need something else, give me a holler. If you do it during the school year, It might take me a couple of days to get back to you, but I will.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is get with a good teacher. Websites and books can be helpful but they can't replace working with a flesh and blood teacher who can see exactly what you're doing and work to help make you a better pianist.
Good luck!
