I’m getting better at playing the piano. You can also say “My piano skills are improving” which sounds more natural but has the same meaning

Hello! The first sentence makes sense. The second and third sentence don’t make a lot of sense in English! So, I would say to use the first sentence! You could also say “I am getting better at playing piano.” It also makes sense. I hope this helps you!

@mari0211 "the" can be removed because it is general piano playing you are improving instead of a specific piano. However, in this context, "the piano" typically still means general piano playing. You'll find British English, Australian, and some others still use "the" but American English typically won't in some sentences.

Thank you for your advice.
Your explanation was easy for me to understand.
Now I understand that “the” can be removed in the case of American English:)
