Help a new guy in music

Hi guys,

So for all my life I've been listening to music and enjoying it but I never learned to play an instrument. Which I really regret now.

I'm 24 years old and tomorrow my own very first keyboard will arrive. After doing some research, and along with my small budget, I decided to buy a Yamaha NP-12 BK. It comes in a set with a pedal, stand and headphones which I hope will suffice for me to start learning.

​

I wanted to ask you what are the best sources online for practicing and what are the main things I should be focusing on now since I do not have a clue about playing the keyboard or reading music sheets.

I bought it because I know it will motivate me to continue, and this is something I have to do in my life. Learn to play.

​

What are your thoughts on learning software? Some YouTube channels that could help? Some websites perhaps? Or maybe some books that will give me a good intro? Should I take classes immediately or practice first and then when I get stuck go see a professional?

I want to practice mostly by myself since classes are quite expensive here in Croatia, and as I said my budget is not really good.

​

Every advice is much appreciated.

​

Thank you good people.

Wish me luck! :-)
