hello,
im 17 and i love the sound of music produced from a piano. my parents can’t afford an instructor to teach me everyday, so i planned to self taught. i do have a pretty good yamaha piano keyboard at home and managed to memorize some songs in my heart. But i was awestruck when i hear Yiruma play, "River Flows in You" it was absolutely amazing!! and i want to learn that song so bad.
To get to the point, what would your recommendation be? To buy an instruction book or is there a website that actually helps without paying 100.00 for their product?
Thank you so much!
xoxo,

Hey there!
Heres a free lesson for you 
Learn the white key’s:
There are essentially ten different white key’s to remember, these range from C to E, and are arranged in the following way:
CDEFGABCDE
In order to find note C, locate a pair of black piano key’s and press the white key directly left of the first black key (of the twin set), the following white key on the right will be a D, then a E and so forth.
How to remember the pattern:
You may have noticed that after B, the cycle repeats itself, thus you’ll only need to remember seven notes (CDEFGAB)! Some beginners find associating words to each note helps them learn notes on the piano, particularly the pattern as a whole. Try the following: Cats, Don’t, Eat, Fly’s, Gaining, Altitude, Baby! You’ll notice the first letter of each word matches with the seven note pattern!
White key’s are also called natural’s, this is because they sound natural rather than sharp or flat.
Learn the black key’s:
Now, the black key’s are slightly different, these notes are called accidentals! And these are either "Sharp" or "Flat" notes, each relating to a white note. Find the C white note, and press the black key directly to its right. You should hear a note half a pitch higher. This is a C sharp (#) key! Locate a white D note and press the black key to the D’s left and you will here a flat (b) note, this time half a pitch lower than the D note.
