New to Processing

Hello Helpful Community!

I'm brand new to this world and need some guidance.  

I want to create my own music visualization.  

How do I begin?  To create them do I just need Processing or do I need other programs?

Where is the most direct way of learning how to use the program?

Thank you.

to create your own music visualisation you also need a sound library. i can recommend Minim.
http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim/
this library inclused several examples on how to load music files, live input and visualize it. You can use its FFT class for doing spectrum analysis.

It is not the easiest thing to start with though.
if you want to get used to processing itself. you can start here
