What's your musical background?

1. What do you mean, what are you going to expect? You'll have a greater understanding of playing keyboard...
2. Alot. It's going to throw you a few hard balls. But stick to it. Eventually, the pieces of the puzzle will just fit together.
3. When you watch another musician, pay close attention to the muscles that are doing the work. Watch how they make the instrument a part of them, almost. For piano or keyboard, watch their hands. Watch how the fingers work together has a unit. You too can learn that, provided you practice.
And I don't really have anything on the other 3. I've been playing piano for 30 years, and it's basically the same thing. Just keep at it.
