There is another approach I don't think anyone mentioned-
A friend some time ago brought over a Casio mini- keyboard with a bunch of different sounds you could choose to play. It was mainly a "one finger at a time" portable music machine for those with no talent but a desire to experiment. I admit getting a real kick out of playing it, and it was priced well under $100. Of course, you "might" want to get a 61, 76, or even an 88 key model after fiddling around with that device. Or not, Either way it was a lot of fun. Much later on I bought a Yamaha piano and found a teacher. Early on it was easy, but I soon found out (after 3-4 years) that it was impossible to play Bach, Mozart, etc. like it's supposed to be played. Who has five hours a day to get to the next level? But the Casio is still pretty cool and I highly recommend getting one instead of a video game. Or... an inexpensive classical guitar (nylon strings are easy on your fingers).
