There are 3 playing modes featured by the Baby Einstein Count and Compose Piano. The first one is the Piano Mode, in which baby can choose to play piano, flute or xylophone sounds. The little monitor on top has flashing coloured lights that dance in time to classical melodies. The roller with colourful rattle beads on top of the Count and Compose Piano mimics a rolling snare drum. When babies play the piano keys on this musical toy, they not only hear the notes of the instrument selected, they also see the dancing lights on the screen.

The second playing mode is the Counting Mode. There are 3 languages available in this mode: English, Spanish or French. By pressing the keys, baby will hear numbers one through five in the selected language.
