The pros of this game to me is how fun, interactive and diverse it is. I am not a musician, but this game here gives me an appreciation for the many types of music. From rock to classic, from jazz to march (band-like music) you can play a large variety of instruments. You can add instruments in or can take instruments out of songs so it can sound how you like. The cons, if any at all, are that the this game has controls that are optional but you may find that the controls are vital. For example, I played the game but I did not have a balance board (the component to play wii fit) and I wanted to play drums. If you use the wii remote and nunchuk alone, the beat becomes consistent, but after a while will become uneven without the balance board to simulate the bass drum. Other than that, I cannot find any apparent cons. Overall, if you're a musician or not, this game is great for those who want to learn and those who love to play.Read full review

This game is not to good but not to bad. This is mainly just a joke by everyone and should be remembered so that way it never dies and we can continue to make fun of it.

Wii Sports, with its simple, but fun (and in the case of bowling, surprisingly deep) control mechanics, has proven a runaway sensation for Nintendo. I still pick up the compilation now and again, especially when I've got some friends over, and bowl a few rounds or even hit some virtual tennis balls back and forth. And I have supported the developer's innovative exercise program, Wii Fit, since it was first unveiled; it is another piece of software that I continue to use -- it has, in fact, become part of my weekly workout regimen. On the other hand, I've remained outwardly skeptical of Wii Music since its unveiling because, for all of Nintendo's demos of the title, I've never really been convinced that there is an interesting or fun mechanic to playing the wide assortment of instruments housed within. And disappointingly, my extended time with the finished product has not wiped away that skepticism. If anything, it's only confirmed my suspicions, specifically that Nintendo's first step into the music / rhythm genre is actually a misstep, one resulting in a product so unsophisticated that it practically plays itself.Read full review
Being a bass player who plays funky slap and pop, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of musical "ability" but it's no different than guitar hero. This gamew is AWESOME for youngster. My 10yr old daughter loves it. I bought an instrument acessory pack so she can play the trumpet, fiddle, etc. The drums are a bit trickier than I had thought...you don't 'point and play' it more like hold in a button and take a swing....awkward when it comes to the toms because you have to hold a directional button while you play. For example to hit the snare with the nunchuck you hold 'C' to hit it with the remote you hold 'A' The balance board option is a blast! Complete hi-hat control. The games are very fun as well. Definitely worth a look if you're into wii-fit. it's a very similar setup as far as a guide leads you through exercises and lessons. Again I'm a little disappointed in the instrument control, like to play the keyboard you basically do a drum roll. Not very involved, but they do the best they can with the tools available. I paid $20 for it, I would not play $50.Read full review
older children who are very into graphics may not like this game. it's for a younger crowd. some parts are annoying but this is a fantastic tool to teach kids about music. you can pick different intstruments, learn about tone and pitch, and keep a rhythm. you can also record the song you play as a video and review it. you can then design your own cd jacket. with each new level you unlock new songs and new designs. another great feature is to conduct an orchestra with another player and see how well you play together. it's a simple game that teaches about music as well as taking turns and team work.
I love music! I was even in the band when I was in high school. This game has a lot of neat games and lessons to become a better wii instrumentalist. I'm trying to get the drums right but it is kind of hard to play the drums because you have to push the right buttons. I think the makers of mii music should come out with a new one where it actually picks up what you are playing. For example the drums should have the wii remote and nunchuck pick up every move you make instead of pushing all those buttons to get different parts of the drum.
This item is more than I expected with some great potential as I get better in play. I bought this for myself in an attempt to play my wii more and tone the arms! You would not EVER think this simple music making game would allow this opportunity, but I must say you are wrong. This item is simply GREAT and fun very young kids age 3 to 99!!! Here are the pro's and con's There's a wide variety of instruments to play in Wii Music: drums, guitar, violin, trumpet, saxophone, timpani, harp, electric and upright bass, steel drums, banjo, handbells, and many more. Each of these instruments is played by one of four simple motions. Guitars are played by holding the Nunchuk as you would the neck of a guitar and then moving the remote in a strumming motion. Wind instruments are played without the Nunchuk; just hold the top of the remote toward your mouth and press the 1 and 2 buttons to change notes. You can raise and lower the remote to increase or decrease the volume. Violins are a little more complex; you hold the Nunchuk out from your shoulder and then move the remote back and forth like a bow across strings. Drums and keyboards are played by waving the remote and Nunchuk up and down. A more complicated drum set is available if you have a Wii Fit Board as well (it acts as a pedal). Once the game's host is done driving you crazy with his gibberish, you're free to play some music. One of the more interesting things to do is jam with CPU-controlled musicians known as tutes. You start off alone, and as you establish a rhythm, you're joined by a percussionist, a bassist, and eventually a few other musicians. You don't have much control over what you're playing--though you can decide how often you play a note and add some flair by holding down a button--but somehow, some way, the results sound pretty good. If you want to play a "real" song, you can choose from a small list that includes a few familiar Nintendo themes and pop tunes, and then play along with them. You can do this alone or with up to three other people; if alone, you can go back and play each part so eventually every instrument is played by your Mii. Once you've finished a song, you can save a video of your performance, and (using a limited number of options) create your own album cover. If you're looking for something a little more structured, there are three minigames to choose from, all of which can be played with one to four players. Mii Maestro places you in the role of conductor. It's your job to keep the orchestra together by moving the remote up and down in a steady beat. This is easy, but it's fun to go through the five available songs a few times. In Handbell Harmony, you're given a set of colored bells, one mapped to the Nunchuk and the other to the remote. When your color hits the time bar, you swing the appropriate controller, and voila, you're playing handbells. Given that you're able to speed up and even increase the complexity of each song, this mode does offer a fair bit of challenge. The last minigame is Pitch Perfect. This mode tests your ability to recognize different pitches. It starts off easy by asking you to pick which two instruments out of three are playing the same note, but as you progress, you'll have to put together four-note chords, arrange a large number of musicians in proper order to make a song, and other fairly difficult tasks.Read full review
All of my kids are associated with music one way or another and this is just a fun outlet for them to continue their love of music. Not extremely accurate or compelling, but a fun little game involving music and keeping time.

Wii Music has provided an fun and creative way to play music. There are many familiar songs to choose from as well as several classic Nintendo songs. There are many instruments to use that can change the tune of the selected song. The hidden content of the game itself will very likely be unlocked in a very short period of time, but the ways that each song can be rearranged provide hours of fun! Mii's can be used for playing the instruments, so the song can be personalized for each "Wii Music" owner. Because it can be relatively quick to unlock the hidden content and making a good song might require several attempts to fine-tune the music, this might be a challenge for those who want to keep moving forward in game and are not fond of listening to a song several times. But if you enjoy playing with different songs and playing them with a variety of instruments then you will definitely enjoy the potential of Wii Music.Read full review
If you want a game that teaches your child or whole family to learn a lot about music, this is the game. It has several games that teach you to hear and decide if musical notes are the same or different. Gives them experience at learning what notes sound right together as chords or do not sound right together as chords, and many other games as well, it's an excellent learning tool. Of all the mind numbing games on the market that teach nothing other than becoming a couch potatoe, this one encourages you to use your brain. Hats off to Nintendo to for creating a Wii game that teaches things, helps you get fit and encourages families to play games together. We need families to spend more time together today doing things, it builds family bonding times and will keep your kids from going out and doing things they should not do! Thanks for creating such a family oriented game, its a great thing! Keep it up Nintendo! Kelly - IllinoisRead full review
