learning piano/keyboard

random i know, always wanted to suprise friends by sitting down at a posh do/wedding etc and blast out a couple of tunes on a piano, i cant read music so is there any books/dvd's that teach you to play just by key positions? (hope that makes sense?)

Thanks in advance

    If your not interested in learning to read music, there are any number of 'tutorial' videos on youtube.

    These usually pace the pieces slowly and show you what keys to press. Just search for a song title with the word tutorial.

    Reading music isn't as difficult as learning to play an impressive tune on a piano, imho.:p

    You can "play by ear" but it's not as easy as it looks.;)
