I have never heard of a "keys to music" style of program.  Where would I
find one?

The very thought of me trying to learn to play music would frighten my
friends and neighbours and send the dog running from the house in sheer
panic.  

No, what I was looking for was something in the way of music
appreciation. I was trying to indicate I wanted something that would let
me hear what different musical terms meant as well as offer an
introduction to different kinds of music.  Aaron Konstam's suggestion of
starting at child's level seemed to touch on what I meant.  However when
it comes to the best means to learn about music/sound/noise, I am
necessarily in the hands of others.
