Top 5 Mistakes Beginners Make at the Piano (and How to Avoid Them)
Sep 15, 2025
Starting piano is exciting — but beginners often fall into the same traps. Here are the top five mistakes and how to avoid them:
Skipping posture: Hunched shoulders create tension. Sit tall and relaxed.
Ignoring rhythm: Playing the right notes but the wrong rhythm is half a song. Use a metronome to keep steady.
Practicing too fast: Speed comes last. Slow, steady practice builds accuracy.
Avoiding scales: Scales aren’t “boring”— they build finger strength and freedom.
Inconsistent practice: 10 minutes daily beats one long session once a week.
