Notes to help people new to/learning how to play music sheets, such as this:
Anything presented in brackets, in sheets such as these, are typically played together (as a chord); in cases such as the very first chord [WODtsh], you'll notice I might opt to play the lower-case letters first [the minor notes], and then quickly went on to hold down shift, and play the upper-case letters [the major notes] afterwards, in the chord, in rapid succession.

Optionally, you can take a look at how a chord's notes scale (in this case, W is the lowest, followed by t, O, s, D, and h) and, if it makes it easier to play, you can edit out some of the notes in between the highest & lowest (or, alternatively, all but the highest/lowest notes, if you prefer) to get a simpler chord; whether that be [tsh], [WOD], (reformatting the sheet so you only have to play minor keys, if that's easier than mixing in major/shifted-up keys), or even transposing WOD down to the minor keys wod as long as the chord doesn't sound sour thereafter, or elsewise.

I find that, it might depend on the site/game you're playing on, or maybe depending on the computer keyboard, or even computer, itself, and software/drivers correlating to the keyboard, or even perhaps whether or not your computer keyboard is "membrane" or "mechanical"... that, when playing whole chords, sometimes the website might not respond to trying to play certain keys, at the same time (or maybe, it's dependent on the quantity of notes played at the same time, in a chord).
In light of this, I tend to play some chords, such as those that I know give me trouble, in a flourish/trill/in very quick succession; again, typically played in a fashion where I either play all minor notes, then all major, or literally just based upon how they scale up the keyboard, from lowest note, to highest (and re-write the chord in that order, if necessary; for example, changing [doaw] to [woad]).

It makes it worth noting that, yes, there are letters which you must hold the shift key, to play.

In the virtual piano format of playing, the scale from the lowest minor notes, to the highest, is played in this order/with these keys:
1234567890
qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm
And, depending on what site/game you play the piano on, using the shift key to play major notes, you'll notice where playing those above-aforementioned keys, plays major notes which fill in gaps in the scale; depending on the site/game you play on, only one of two things (exclusively) will happen when using shift to play the major keys:
The first of two things that would happen, is that keys such as 1, and 2, would be played in their major form (! and @ would play), but keys not designed to correspond with major keys, like 3 shifted up (to #) would play no note.
The second of two things that would happen, is that, if the site/game is designed as such, the typical result of attempting to play a key such as 3, whilst shifted up (to #), would be that # (or any other abnormal key, shifted up) would be transposed to play the next note up-- essentially, you'd be playing the note assigned to the 4 key.

That system essentially assures, that all of those computer keys, collectively, correspond to each respective note of a 61-key piano.

Importantly, fonts may make sheet-reading more difficult (so, if possible, use a text editor/document that offers an array of fonts to change text to, if you're having trouble).
For example, a letter O (lowercase "o") may appear very similar to a zero ("0"), in some fonts, or elsewise.
Similarly, I'd run into this issue, as a beginner, such as in discerning between the lowercase "L", and the number 1.

Depending on the length of the music sheet, it has occasionally helped me to keep my place, or make sense of timing, by inserting spaces, paragraph breaks, or other commonly-used indicative characters, such as hyphens (or removing spacing), between notes, chords, and lines. (And, if I'm feeling creative, adding in a few notes or chords of my own to a music sheet, here and there, to give it a unique twist.)
Likewise, as a beginner, I might just strip away the meat of long chords, or major keys in chords, so I could practice and learn the succession of each note fluidly, and get the flow of the song down more easily.

Some music sheets opt to indicate, via use of parentheses "( )", or brackets "{ }", signification of a series of notes that are intended to be played in a relatively-quick flourish, one after another, rather than as a whole chord.

Frankly, the link I'll share, below, might actually offer far more clear, concise, and thorough information on tips and tricks helpful to new players, if not, at least, the basics:
https://virtualpiano.net/virtual-music-education/

And, if you need the practice, you can try your hand at a number of songs (I began, in my learning process, by merely playing each part of a novice rendition of Fur Elise, over, and over), or, by using a typing speed test (if possible for you to find, one which requires usage of capital letters, and numbers), such as if you want to work on touch-typing.

Some of the related websites/games, sometimes, have been given custom programming, such as in offering a variety of 'sound fonts' (instruments, and elsewise, that you can choose from), and control over what octave you play in, and control of transposing notes you play, up or down the scale, and even manual or automatic control/toggling of sustain to each note you play (which can be helpful, especially if you use certain soundfonts/instruments).

Recursive Arts and Virtual Piano's website, provide a metronome, and some visuals to help you get a sense of the scale of notes between octaves.

Virtual Piano's website, and Piano Rhythm, provide the option to record your playing, and even copy the notes you recorded in their written form, or save the performance as a file for playback in the future.

Piano Rhythm even offers unique effects such as styles of reverb impulse to modify your performances.

For Piano Rhythm, adjusting transposition and octave is as easy as either using the on-screen interface's buttons, where transposition and octave are labeled, or, via hotkey, just by pressing your keyboard's Home key and End key for increased or decreased transposition, respectively, and by pressing the Page Up and Page Down keys for increased/decreased octaves, respectively, and toggling of the automatic use of sustain, by pressing the backspace key.

Piano Rhythm offers the option to adjust the time taken for cutoff of sustaining of notes, and allows you to change "keyboard input mapping" to switch between the "virtual piano" keybindings, "multiplayer piano" [website's] keybindings, and the keybindings for "piano rhythm" (personally, I use "virtual piano").
