Default improvements on piano play and composing

Hi.
What you can recommend if I want to play piano better, much more?
I have about 16 years of experience, but there were some delays in practice.
I have some testimonials, reviews.
If the technique isn't as in conservatory, may I improve it much more?
Or some age needed to it, getting it fast...
I play now not hours a day, but would like to play and compose better.
Fingers maybe not strongest.
Better way.
For ex, to win at international contests

My experience isn't with piano specifically, but I'd say getting a good teacher who's work and performances you respect and/admire is a great way to stay on the path.

Even if you're not able to meet in person very often, via internet you can choose your mentors from all over the world.

And solely, my own forces?
I have a program that shows notes on keys. I think it's the best way to learn...
but some advances major...

Listen to, and try to play, any music that interests you. This not only trains your finger muscle memory but more importantly your listening skills
(identifying chords and tonal intervals) in a non-boring and entertaining way.

If you're at the 'mostly white keys' stage, a couple to start with are Whiter Shade of Pale, or the piano solo section of Layla. The more you play the easier it gets...

If your goal is to win contests you might consider whether you're doing it for the wrong reasons. But, heck, if that motivates you to work on it harder, run with it for now.
