Many people get confused about the difference between making a MIDI connection from their keyboard and actually recording the sound

If you do want to record the sound of your keyboard, then a MIDI connection will not do the job. A MIDI interface will transmit your control data (for example which notes you have played, how loudly you played them etc) then this information can be used to play software instruments on your computer.

Keyboard Recording Cable If you want to record the actual sound of your keyboard on your computer then you need to connect the line out (or headphone out if you have no line out) from your keyboard to the line in of your sound card or external audio interface. If you have a generic sound card built in to your computer, and your keyboard has one line out port, then a simple jack to mini-jack cable like this will do the job.

or something like this depending how ya keyboard is.
