I'll give you an example so you can see how it all fits together. Let's start with something really simple.

The first step is to find middle C on your piano or keyboard. This is the first key and note to play.

Then move up to the next white key (to the right on the keyboard) and play D; then E, and so on.

Don't worry too much about the rhythm or which fingers you use; as long as you can play the correct notes, that's the most important thing.

So, as you can see, reading piano music is pretty straightforward. Every key on the piano has its own unique notation; as you learn to read music notes more and more, they will make more sense.
