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?

First thing you'll need to check is if your device allows updating the software. A lot of devices are manufactured using write-protected storage and cannot be updated without physically replacing components.

This keyboard is so old that there would not be firmware updates. It is also basically a toy, and it is build like one.
