Where does one start to learn to play an instrument?

Hello everyone.

I have never taken music classes, don't know very much about music ( other than listening

), but I am very interested in learning to play an instrument now.

Where does one start?

Is it possible to read a few books, learn how to read music, and practice/play any instrument?

I'm particularly interested in woodwind instruments.

Can't find very much info on that, mostly guitar books out there.

And there are so many out there, it's all confusing (what are "music theory" books for instance?)

Would appreciate any advice on how to start out. Thanks!!
