Well, I was wondering if I could get the notes to the song like 'Careless Whisper' and then quick instructions on how to play. There is two-three other songs that I would like to have explained, but I do not need to know everything about playing, just those. I have never been near a piano before so.

I appreciate you writing.


Would you like the moon on a stick too?


Simply find the chords, Learn them by wrote with your right hand, around the middle of the piano. Then play the root of the chord (the lowest note) with your left hand down at the low end of the keyboard, this will be your bass part. That will allow you to build simple harmonic structure, without having to worry about scales... you can use other notes from the chord for the left hand if you want to make it a bit more interesting. The now you have to try and play the chords and your bass part to the rhythm of the song... it helps if you sing over it, the melody will give you clues as to when then chord changes.

Is there an easy way to convert this into notes, like A - B - C and such?


This is what you need:

Sing the song and where you see the Chord symbol (eg Dm7, BbMaj7), play that chord... you can find the fingering of each chord for the keyboard online.
