Playing too fast: This is a common mistake, especially when you're first learning a piece.

Incorrect fingering: This can make it hard to reach notes, keep time, and play smoothly.

Poor posture: This can cause body pain and affect your technique and tone. @

Ignoring details: It's not enough to just press the right keys, you also need to press them with the right weight and dynamics.

Sitting too close to the piano: This can limit your range of motion and make it hard to play correctly.

• Starting each line on the same note: When improvising, try starting on different notes from the scale.

Not counting to yourself: While using a metronome is important, you should also count to yourself to help you set an internal rhythm.

Playing above your skill level: It's important to know your skill level and not try to play music that's too difficult.

Skipping practice: It's important to practice at home.
