- Sequencing: The child can play the keys in a specific order, following a sequence.
- Patterns: The child can recognize and create simple patterns in the music they play.

Continued development can be encouraged by introducing the child to more complex musical pieces that involve different rhythms, time signatures, and key signatures. Additionally, incorporating music theory lessons alongside piano playing can help the child understand concepts such as scales, intervals, and chords, which are all related to math. Encouraging the child to compose their own music or participate in group piano activities can also enhance their mathematical thinking and creativity.
