It's an endlessly expansive topic, but usually people start out with:
1) Lessons or books on how to play a specific instrument. The good ones will cover the most relevant basics of music theory--stuff like chords, scales, keys, and voice leading.
2) Learning how to play your favorite songs. Copying performances and then experimenting with variations on them is essential for getting an intuitive sense of how it all works.
