There are some most common mistakes that most of the players make at the beginning of their learning process, and these are explained as follows:

CORRECT POSTURE:

Correct posture is very important in the piano learning process. We all know that we have to sit in front of piano, though you can stand in front of it, but that would make you tired after some time. So, it's better to sit while playing it. Besides sitting in front of it, keep your back straight, and leave your hands in a relaxed position while playing it. Also keep your fingers in a rounded or curled position when playing it just like you are typing on a keyboard.

PLAYING PIANO WITHOUT A Metronome:

Metronome helps to set the sound at a constant rate.  Many piano learners especially beginners don't know how to use it so they just leave it. This is one of the most common mistakes that users normally make. So, make sure to use it.

BUYING A TOO CHEAP PIANO:

Do not buy a piano which is too cheap and of low quality. You should buy one which has a good sound quality, excellent features, and available in an affordable price. Most importantly, always get your piano checked by a piano technician.
