How to unlock the Pro Keys Apprentice achievement in Rock Band 3 - Definitive Guide

For the most part, this achievement is done most easily by getting 3 stars on 25 songs on medium. These are probably the easiest songs to do:
25 or 6 to 4
The Beautiful People
Before I Forget
Bohemian Rhapsody
Break on Through (To the Other Side)
Combat Baby
The Con
Du Hast
Foolin'
Heart of Glass
Humanoid
I Love Rock N' Roll
Imagine
Just Like Heaven
Low Rider
Need You Tonight
Radar Love
Rainbow in the Dark
Rock Lobster
Stop Me if You Think You've Heard This One Before
Walk of Life
Walking on the Sun
Werewolves of London
Whip It
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1

There might be some songs that are fairly tricky, and you might be able to find easier ones but these are the 25 that I did. The most important thing to remember is to not give up

uberpwnage479 is so right saying 'don't give up'. This is doable in 2 or 3 hours even for someone like me who does not play keyboards. Best advice I can give is that when the song begins, check which colour groups of keys are showing. If you use two of the groups as 'bases' for your fingers (say, all four of your left fingers on yellow, and the first three of your right hand fingers on blue), it is easier to just concentrate on the notes that come down those two colour groups and do your best to hit as many as you can. If you don't panic and move your hands around in an attempt to cover three colour groups, you can hit enough notes in just two groups to gain the three stars on medium. As a keyboardist I make a great guitar player ;-) but this was quite doable, even on my first attempt at most of these songs in uber's list. And if one seems too difficult, try another - you may be pleasantly surprised that the song seems easier than the keyboard difficulty it's given in the song select menu. Keep at it and you may even find yourself enjoying keyboards!

one thing is if you do it on medium and try with no fail mode on you should get 3 stars
i got 51% on Llama medium pro keys and it gave me a 3 star

finallife: I thought RB3 got rid of "automatic 3 stars" just for finishing a song.

You don't automatically get 3 stars for finishing a song; but if you're playing well enough to pass that almost guarantees you're getting at least 3 stars (you're doing worse than that, you're probably failing anyway). Turning no-fail on you still need to hit enough notes to get 3 stars, you just don't have to worry about failing.

I suck at keys so does combining with a singer make this any easier?

I don't think playing in band counts at all. It's worth a shot to see if you and a friend get 3 stars together and see if it counts, but I think this has to be done in solo.

Nothing too difficult. Just don't forget that it must be 25 songs out of the 83 on-disc songs (DLC and imported songs doesn't count). I think it's easier to 3-star the first 25 songs on Medium than it is to 5-star the same songs on Easy.

Turn "No Fail" on and just concentrate on the notes that you can consistently hit, don't try to hit all the notes if you're not good at Keys. Use your Overdrive wisely to maximize your points. You can get 3 stars with very low percentages (aroung 60 to 70%, depending on your OD usage).
