Albert Einstein learned to play the piano at a young age. He began playing the piano around the age of five or six, and his mother, Pauline Einstein, was his first music teacher. Einstein developed a love for music and continued to play the piano throughout his life, often turning to music as a source of relaxation and inspiration. While he was primarily known for his groundbreaking contributions to physics, his passion for music and the piano remained an important aspect of his personal life.
