The Minor Falls, The Major Lifts~

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

So, I just recently purchased, second-hand, a 61-Key keyboard (Yamaha YPT-210) to try and learn a bit of the piano. The reason for me getting a keyboard: in my price range, spatial concerns and this way if I turn out that I don't like it then not at a major financial lost!

Anyways, between a book I have, and internet-based research, right now all I am doing is trying to get my fingers into shape. Let's face it, they are not the most coordinate and a tad belligerent I keep being like "I MEANT TO HIT THE OTHER KEY". So in order to this, I am practicing the scales. Since I've only had it for one day so far, all I know is C Major and G Major, and the first two measures of Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Right now my biggest issue is that cross overs and cross unders drive me nuts, but I think with enough scale practice, I'll get used to it. Eventually I want to be able to play both my right and left hand at the same time, though I'll save that for WAY LATER.

So EoFF, what I am asking you is for nice online sources to help me along. With what I already found and my book, I think I am okay as far as Music Theory is concern (but if you have any tips, please share), I think I have the basics down...I think...:s

So what I really want is some tips, pointers, resources (online or offline) and most of all some idea of what are good beginner pieces to start off with.

Yes, I know I said a lot for such a simple request, I am long-winded.

I'm open to whatever suggestions you have~

EDIT: And tips on how to read music faster would be appreciated too!
