[comp.music] trying to learn music, need hadvice

I am a complete neophyte to music, but I have finally decided to take
plunge and try for the piano.  Now, I need advice.  What should be
my next step?  Take beginning theory classes at the JC?  Hire a
teacher?

Is it too early to consider buying a keyboard?  An acoustic piano
would be preferable, but space and financial considerations make
this impossible.  A local music store salesman suggested the
Kawai mk10 and k1 as good alternatives, and at $399 and $550/used,
affordable.  How about the Yamaha YPR9?  Other recommendations?
