Any explanations, links or advice is appreciated. I'd love to play some Joe Hisaishi but I think i should cover the basics and maybe some easier numbers to practice with.

@CherchezLeEd it's so much easier to read from sheetmusic, then refer to tutorials only when you are unsure of something. I made 3 intuitive lessons on reading music to get you started. thereafter practice reading using easier pieces, in a year or two you will be ready to try this one. my easier pieces are marked with a star (see website)

I FIRST touched a piano yesterday and I'm starting off with a Casio keyboard, with about 62 keys or so i believe. Whats the number of keys for a standard piano? and what can I do to still play songs? I'd like to figure out how exactly the keys are organized and indicated.

[bbdhrggl]

@CherchezLeEd 88 keys is standard. my "cover tutorials" usually show the range of the piece. the right hand usually carries the melody, so with 62 keys, you might miss a few bass notes.

This is the best and most accurate tutorial on youtube, thank you!

Nice! This is exactly what I need, thnx ^^

@jwatt002003 Thanks, I had thought about it. However, that 999 count is inaccurate. YT removed the Speak Softly Love LH tutorial due to "content inappropriate". I found out when a viewer said the monkey link failed. Obvious error on their part. Appeal in process. Other tutorials might have been removed w/o my knowledge. Maybe my "reading music" video was #1,000. That would be a wonderful coincidence. Because my biggest hope is that all of you will learn to read music.
