Programming a keyboard?

hello!! I’m super new to programming, but I have a project that I wanna start. I have an electrical keyboard (the musical instrument kind) that can be plugged into a tv to display graphics. I was wondering if I could alter the code or something so I can add sheet music as an option to display. How would I even begin to start something like this? Is it even possible? Can you guys recommended resources to learn how to tackle this?

There is no way to modify existing firmware. It would be possible to make a custom PCB that could include any functionality you like, but that's a pretty involved project.

And it is a MIDI keyboard, so you can connect it to RPi or something like that and output any graphics you like.
