If you don't provide enough information experienced players will not be able to give you any advices. I'm a beginner as well, so I don't think I can give you any advices, unless its is concerning a piece I mastered and I am deeply familiar with.

Give some details, and I'm sure you will get some comments!

Guys, left or right to the g-clef and the c-lef you see 4/4 vertically  or 2/4 or 3/4 havn't seen 1/4 yet. The tempo basically, right?

I'm having difficulties playing so as well >.<. I tend to play too fast.

Tempo and time signature are two different things. 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 tells you how the rhythm (pulse) of the piece feels (how many notes per measure and what kind of notes, how to accent them), tempo marking (how fast) is either a term in italian (usually) or a metronome marking.

4/4 means 4 beats to a measure and a quarter note gets one beat. So four quarter notes to the measure or 8 eigth notes etc. Or many combinations there of.  3/4, is three beats to the measure and a quarter note gets one beat. So 3 quarter notes equals one measure or six eigth notes etc. or many combinations there of.

Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

Ranniks, your teacher is not covering this with you ? This should be established well before you move on to Bach.

Incidentally, you have suggested loving Mozarts K545, you need to count like the Dickens, as my teacher used to say, when learning this one. Especially as you start to gain speed in it. So really it doesn't get easter as you learn it, it gets more challenging as you learn to get all the notes in. That's a great piece, incidentally, for holding tempo. People blow it out, to do it right it really needs to be even. You're gonna have fune with this one when you get there !
