Well, the basic answer to both your questions is "yes". But they're so broad in focus its hard to really give an answer that is useful.

I'd suggest looking into piano lessons. You'll get the notes under your fingers and theory in your head. Its better than reading stuff out of a book 'cos you have someone who can guide you.

Yeah, i think that's the best solution because there's so much theory that one can really get lost in it hehe. Thnx for the answer. At least i know that my thoughts were in the right direction :)

There's some great theory software that is inexpensive, patient and can teach you quite a bit. Granted, not the same as lessons, but a good initial start.
I use Mibac Music Lessons with my high school students who atruggle with basic theory concepts, its fairly comprehensive and works at your pace.

Good Luck, your in for a great journey

Thnx for the advice Phil. I will be looking into that for sure. Yeah, i was looking around on the net and i already found that this is very interesting but also very comprehensive indeed. But it's worth it at the end :)

Thnx

If you take lessons remember that the most mundane, boring crap is important. Technique, fingering and practicing with a metronome...yawn...but a fantastic inverstment in your competency.

Scales are important.

Especially if you are a fish! :s:
