You don't have to assign the notes. Just click the Keyboard symbol next to the KEY and MIDI assign buttons in the upper right corner of Live's window.
A to L become white keys,
W E T Y U and O become black keys,
Z and X transpose octaves down and up,
and C and V set the velocity.

man, sounds like you need to record enable/arm the track, or set the tracks monitor to in. Seriously though mate, take things slowly and read the manual and the included tutorials. Basic stuff like this is covered well and you should get a good grounding with the software and you'll quickly learn everything else naturally.
