Hey fella, you're obviously connected to the internet - so USE IT! It's full of piano learning videos, instructional websites, sites selling books/CDs/videos on the subject, adverts from piano teachers..... 2 minutes on Google will give you hundreds of hints. Come back when you've done that.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

If your keyboard is all that, maybe it has a teaching/ demo option? I got one with keys that light up and 99 pieces in it. Not how I learned piano, but it's a start. If you don't have those you can figure out a simple song by ear, like Jingle Bells. Get a chord chart and familiarize yourself with those. Can you read music? You should at least know how to read a melody RH + chords LH to play songs.

hi, there is an excellent website called www.musicroom.com they have a huge number piano/keyboard instruction books, have a browse through and see what you can find, maybe have a couple of lessons with a good teacher to get you going, but whatever you do dont panic, just enjoy playing!

The easiest most enjoyable way to get started with this new instrument and play songs on the piano today is the five note method.  Check it out below.
