I am a complete noob. As you will see shortly.However, I would like to learn how to play while looking at sheet music.As per the attachment, I have deciphered the notes as E/B, C, B, A and then A again.I hope that is right (fingers crossed).However, since I have not had any formal training, I still can't tell which keys on the keyboard I should be hitting.Should I be going down an octave in this situation?Also, what is the line that connects the A note to the other A note?How does that line work?Thanks very much for any help that you can offer.And thanks for being patient with me as I am an absolute beginner.

Actually, it's Eb/Bb, C, Bb, Ab (b = flat) - from the key signature, which is Eb major or C minor.It's called a tie, don't confuse with slur.It seems that you need to learn a bit of basic music theory if you want to decipher sheet music.
