Listen to lots of piano music from different composers and different performers.  Try to learn as much as you can about the instrument, including history, theory, etc... do this on your own time, not just when your teacher instructs you to do so.

Too often, I have students who just want me to give them pieces to work on.  That is the norm.  If you truly want to be a good musician, you have to get more involved with it. 

Be humble, ask lots of questions, practice with purpose and be extremely patient.  You could play until you're 90 years old and only scratch the surface of the complexities of this instrument.

If you're looking for some more specifics, shoot me a message and I'd be happy to give you some other suggestions.

All the best.   :)
