Musicians - What are you learning to play?

[Trifid]

Slight hijack but I'm looking to learn the piano/keyboard. I've got a fairly decent midi keyboard and was hoping there might be software that teaches the basics. I thought if I'm going to find out someone here will probably know!

Learn to read sheet music and get to know the geography of the keyboard through scales and maybe arpeggios, then look for a good piano teacher. Maybe pickup ABRSM grade 1 to keep things interesting.

It's all about discipline and setting aside a regular amount of time to practice every day. Something I've singularly failed to do since I bought my first guitar 30ish years ago. I now own 2 electrics, an electro-acoustic and a 12-string ditto, a P-bass and a mandolin - and I can hardly play a note on any of them

Now my son's got the bug and it's pretty depressing having a 13-year-old cranking out riffs by GnR, Maiden, Sabbath et al - at least he's disciplined...

Haven't sat down at my piano in a month or so, but I just ordered sheets for this

Like this?

And heres Magnetic Rag:

Im taking a long break now because my right ulnar nerve is still a little borked. I was learning The Chrysanthemum and Pineapple Rag next, but that had to be put on break. I was also learning a few chopin pieces, Minute Waltz, Grande Valse Brilliante and one of the nocturnes that I cant remember the name of.

I wanted do do a Masters in Music before I turned 30,but will probably have to wait until I'm 35 now.
