many schools. Try wynton music, church house.
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

I commend you for the decision, it will be rewarding and will ennoble you. You just need to be dedicated and practice consistently, and it will not take long before it becomes second nature.

If it is classical piano that you want to learn, which I hope it is:
- This is a prominent music school that primarily deals with classical music: http://www.conservatoire.co.ke/
- You will need to learn music theory, which will allow you to interpret sheet music
- And of course, learn to play the piano itself.

Probably the best free series that I know of, which you can get started with as soon as you are ready, were done by Furmanczyk Piano Academy

Music theory: http://www.youtube.com/p...2669C3&feature=plcp
Learn How To Play Piano: http://www.youtube.com/p...7525A8&feature=plcp

While the second of the two will get you right into the action quicker, advice would be to first do the complete music theory, then proceed to learn how to play the piano or you could do them simultaneously, the second also has music theory, but not as thorough as the full music theory.

Just in case you did not purchase an full 88 key piano, know that it is ok to begin with it, but eventually you will need to upgrade to a full 88 key electric or acoustic piano, since it is classical music.

When upgrading to a full 88 key electric piano, ensure that it has dynamic response, whereby it feels, responds and sounds like an acoustic piano, so that you can have full control over the sound, because some electric pianos are not sensitive to pressure, resulting in music not being able to be accurately reproduced, and of course, it will also need to have pedals.

Some advantages of electric pianos are that some of them can be portable and headphones can be used while practicing – not allowing others to be disturbed.

Methodist Guest House.

There's a music school there (nxt to the pool) teaching how to play all manner of instruments.
