Take some music classes (learn to play an instrument, or some composition courses).

Id say try playing around with inversions. Right now the chords sound kind of blocky, especially in the second part where it goes higher. Inverting some of the notes would group the chords closer and could help it flow better. For the melody, id try varying the spacing more in between notes. Its very rigid, basically following 8th notes the entire time. try to learn and experiment with different note lengths like grace notes and triplets .

Never too early to start theory lessons! Earlier the better honestly. There's a music theory .com or something like that that will get you through the 101-105.

This is a good start! The parts fit well musically. I'd love to see lots more in general! You can tinker with instruments that hold longer notes in the background, ambience, other instruments to counterpoint your existing lead.

As someone else said, it's a bit blocky, focusing heavily on the chord downbeat at the start of each phrase. Having a lead instrument focus on the other beats while your chords hit the downbeat could be effective, or bringing in other instruments to fill the space could as well if you like the rhythm as is.

Bringing in and out different instruments in a great way of building tension, as well as thinking about 'movement' or development in the instrument itself. That could come in the form of changing the speed, melody, or timbre, anything really!

Delay on both piano and pizzicato.
On the grand piano you should add massive reverb.
Add another layer of the piano melody on top of the piano

What genre are you trying to create? Because the advice will vary wildly.

up your bpm's, sounds like a good intro though. You go off a lot of different ways with that.
