1) Make sure you don’t forget to keep the rhythm (you should remember the melody by ear)
2) If you think it’s too difficult to play with both hands simultaneously you should try to play one small part only with your right hand first.
After you get used to play it that way, add left hand. And then keep learning the melody part by part"
3) Tablature cells contains the octave numbers. Don’t confuse those numbers with the numbers of key pushing or fingers
4) You don't need to remember octave numbers on your keyboard. The main thing to take into account the mutual arrangement of the octaves.
5) You do not need to memorize notes (letters on the keys) – you can navigate by the color of the keys instead
