Yes there will be a time when you’ll need to/have to/want to learn music theory and how to read music notation, but there’s no need to overwhelm yourself with the technical stuff too soon. So sit back and watch how you can start learning how to play the piano in small “bite-size chunks” one step at a time, at a slow and comfortable pace: www.get-piano-lessons.com

Education for Absolute Pitch: A New Way to Learn Piano
Product Description
Ruth and Nayouki Taneda have taught music to children for more than 30 years. In this handbook, they show how it is possible to develop absolute pitch (also known as “perfect pitch”) in preschool children, giving them a skill previously thought of as an innate privilege of only especially gifted musicians. The authors discuss the myths related to absolute pitch, and they describe the effects of absolute pitch on a child’s musical upbringing. In the process, they present a new style of instrumental instruction.
