Piano playing requires precise finger movements, hand-eye coordination, and dexterity. Children develop fine motor skills as they learn to press keys, strike chords, and control dynamics with their fingers. Piano lessons stimulate cognitive development by improving memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Learning to read music notation, identify patterns, and interpret musical symbols engages the brain and enhances cognitive abilities.
