I just started learning a couple of months ago :) I've come along quite nicely. A few tips:

- Learn where the notes are starting with middle C, you can use C as a landmark for the others until you get them.

- I did some hannon exercises daily to build up finger strength, you can find em on youtube (also work on your 3 last fingers in seperate exercises as they need to catch up)

- Look up and do thumb tuck exercises, you'll be able to tuck over two whole notes rather quickly and will allow you to position your hand properly. (important)

- Learn a simple song through sheet music and work on reading it every couple days. Learn the notes of the treble and bass clefs (Top bar is always right hand and lower is left).

- Learn to do some basic scales with each hand first and then both but always finish on both, start slow.


Good luck to ya!
