How can playing the piano increase a person's smartness?

For one thing, when you are playing the piano you are utilizing all the learning styles—auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Learning to play the piano can increase your focus and it can help develop discipline and follow-through.  These are skills that can easily be transferred to other learning—schoolwork, for example.

If a person is practicing correctly, by the end of the practice session she will be mentally tired.
