I took piano lessons in childhood. I hated it. After college, I decided to pick it up, again. I bought a Yamaha 61key keyboard from Walmart when I was about 23. I also bought a Jazz Piano book. I taught myself "The Girl from Ipanema". I love that song. The keyboard costs about $120.00. The rest is time to practice. And you have to really LOVE music.
