One thing my piano teacher emphasized was that I needed to play on my finger tips. I would be lazy and play with my hands level with the keys. She made me focus on having my hands above the keys over them.... like "walking a spider" with your fingers. That prevents the thumb from easily pressing 2 keys at the same time. BTW: She was a small lady with short stubby fingers and she managed to play some amazing things. As a young (early teen) my finger span was actually longer than hers.
She also tried to teach me to feel the music as I played it with fingerboard technique that resembled rolling waves..... hard to explain with words..... but after all these years, I finally "get it".
