1.Wrong notes.
2.Wrong rhythm (rhythm taken in its most basic definition as relative time values of notes)
3.Wrong accents.

5.Playing at the edge of the keys
6.Reaching for the notes with the fingers, rather than let the arms move the fingers into position.
7.Using unnecessary muscles movements.

11.Bad posture.
12.Wrong dynamics.

17.Not following a teacher’s advice (at least to see if what he says is true or not).
18.Forgetting to breathe – and most times wrong breathing.
19.Grimacing unnecessarily, and thinking that this adds “emotion” to your playing.
20.Curling fingers too much.
21.Flattening fingers too much.
22.Wrong fingering.
23.Changeable fingering (that is using a different fingering every time you play the same passage).
24.Not tuning the piano frequently.
25.Not using a metronome in the appropriate circumstances.
26.Using the metronome in inappropriate circumstances.
27.Not taking care of your overall physical fitness.
