How do I animate my design Idea? Adobe Animate help

Question

Hello, I have this very clear animation idea in mind, but I am a complete beginner and don't know where to start, any help would be appreciated! I want to animate these piano keys so that they rush in from the left side, follow the curve, and then vanish at the bottom. I have every key in a separate layer because I think that's important, but I don't know how to continue from this point on. I have access to Adobe Animate and Procreate, thank you!

3 ways...1. Literally keyframe each book on its own layer and then a blank keyframe for when and where you want each book to disappear. 2. Have all books on a single layer and use an animated mask and keyframes to make them appear and disappear. 3. Convert each book to a symbol, maybe if you have repeating sequences of say 5 books in a row, you could nest them, animate them appearing and disappearing then duplicate this symbol enough times to make this path and control each symbol's nested animation with a keyframe and telling them to Play Once.
