Default Re: any tips for a beginner ?

Try to play at least a little bit every day, even if it's just a couple songs, because skill rusting is real. And conversely, when you play every day, you'll have better improvement than if you played all those songs at once in one long session.

Pay attention to ergonomics. Don't play with your wrists bent or twisted to the side, try to find a setup that lets you keep your wrists as straight as possible while you're playing (I rest my arms on books so my hands are elevated a little bit above the keyboard). And to make your keystrokes a little more clean, fast, and precise, try to keep your fingers in a position where they're pressing directly down on the keys, not at an angle.
