WHEN a student comes to play to the artist with whom he desires to study, how often does he ask, when he has finished his performance Master, what I really want you to tell me is, whether I have any very serious faults in my playing? Serious faults in his playing! Poor fellow! He probably has several which he has not yet discovered himself, and which most likely no one has ever drawn his attention to.
What, then, are some of the most common faults, and at the same time some of the worst of those which students of the piano may fall into unsuspectingly through careless tuition? Well, these are many and various, and are generally very difficult to eradicate. Moreover, they beset the most talented players, just as much as their less gifted brethren.

It’s always important to begin with a professional music teacher even when you’re first picking up a new instrument. Trying to teach yourself can easily lead to bad habits which can be very difficult to break. Better to do it the right way from the beginning than to learn that you’ve been doing it the wrong way all along!
Another fault in which many pianists may perform in a piece are the dynamics in both hands…never seem to complement each other but instead, play the left louder than the right hand- blocking out the main melody. Losing this habit may be hard after a few years of playing the piano but it can improve gradually over time
Best to eliminate these habits from the begining/asap!
