I would like to be able to look at a basic piece of music and play it… Nothing too advanced. I can play guitar by tabs and chord sheets, but would like to be able to play simple pieces of music on the piano. For someone not trying to learn piano seriously, would lessons or learning by books on music theory be better? Thanks so much.

I’ve been playing guitar for about seven years, and then I tried to start learning piano. Piano has bass cleft, it is the most confusing thing. I could sit there for hours and look at an A note and it’s something totally different. Haha. So If you’re not used to reading notes yet, it should only take about eight months to be able to look at a piece of piano music and play it. I say lessons. But that’s just my preference. Good luck.
probably 6-18 months
i’ve been playing for 8 years
6 months to 3 years, depending on your natural ability and how much you practice.

Well depends on natural ability and skill I guess.
Take a couple of lessons because music theory won’t help if you don’t have the experience of what it ACTUALLY sounds like.I am a grade 5 ABRSM student whos only played seriously for 2 years, but my theory…lets just say its gonna be a while for my theory to catch up.I learnt theory only a while AFTER I played the piano. TIP : Learn by notes NOT by letter names..seems most of friends who play the piano prefer letters..I don’t do that and I find it MUCH easier
