Hey everyone, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is in the right place. But I two questions. One is, where can I learn how to play Sadness and Sorrow easily? I've never played piano before, and I downloaded a piano program on my computer so I can play piano without having to go out and spend 500 dollars to get a big piano that I have no space for. I looked up some sheet music and found the song I want, but I don't under stand any of it. And I have a really busy schedual so I don't have the time to go out and take piano lessions. So I need a way to easily learn how to play that one song. The big expensive piano thing leads me to my next question. Where can I get a cheap small piano? Like something that I can lay in my lap and play. I'm not looking to buy a 10 dollar kids toy, but I can't afford a 600 dollar pro piano, nor do I have the space to put it in my house. So I'm looking for a good small, I don't really know, a key board prohaps? Just something that I can lay in my lap and play.

Thanks for your help everyone, Dragon.

My wife bought a fold up/roll up keyboard for when we travel.
It's actually pretty nice and take sup no room.
With 3 real accoustic pianos to play at home she will still use the roll up keyboard to practice things while watching a movie or TV.

Have you ever played music on any other instrument before? Can you read music? Because if you can't and haven't, then you're in for a long hard slog. I'm saying, with your busy schedule, a month or two of dedicated practice and music study before you even begin to work on the piece, a half hour a night.

Oh, and I know you said an easy way, but I'm afraid there is no no quick simple way with music, you really have to put in the effort.

That roll up piano is great! lol I can't believe how real it sounds, thanks alot for the links. And no, I've never played another instrument or learned how to read sheet music. But piano is something that I've taken an interest in lately, is there any sites that I could learn to play piano from? I can't go out and take lessons in the middle of the day, but I can take some online lessons or something sometime at night when I have some free time.
