Lots of singers think that to play the piano they will need to start taking lessons and start from ground zero, reading notes and playing lots of exercises.

This simply isn't true

Sure, if you want to play classical music, Bach and Chopin, then you do need to begin this way, but for singers, it is a different story entirely. The difference is this:B

You don't need to play a melody note or read music at all.
