Sounds like the same deal as learning how to play guitar then. Thanks for the input galen and am_Unition. The thing with guitar is I haven't been the best at visualizing the key signatures and that side of it, which is a big reason why I'm taking this up. To get a better grounding on the theory and plus, who doesn't want to learn piano/keyboard/what have you.

I'll be checking out that Schmitt book and look into whatever else I can find. I've got some sheet music laying around here somewhere, I'll have to dig it out.

Speaking of exercise books, check out Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist too. As I understand it's pretty much the standard for piano exercises, and it's certainly the most useful book I ever worked out of.

I actually just found a pdf of that! After taking a quick look through it, that's something that I'm definitely going to have to work my way up to. Beyond my skill level, but it will be useful in the future.
