KEY INFORMATION
Create a musical masterpiece with up to four players. Anyone can play the huge selectionof instruments in Wii Music with simple motions—like strumming and drumming. It's easy to play improv jams. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing theirinstruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart's content. Playfaster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, WiiMusic automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music. There areno mistakes—just playing for the pure joy of playing. Wii controls immerse you in the music. You can play most of the 60-plusinstruments in Wii Music using simple motions with the Wii Remote andNunchuk controllers. Strum to play guitar, banjo and sitar. Drum to play jazzdrums, congas and marching drums. Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone andmarimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music doesn't make you use complexbuttons. You only need to imitate playing the instrument. Wii Music offers virtually endless ways to make music. You choose the song andinstruments and decide whether to blaze through a rock take on classical songsput a jazzy spin on folk tunes or transform Nintendo classics like the Super Mario®Bros. theme into Latin-flavored numbers. The song list is only a takeoff point—it's how you improvise with the songs that matters. Send your band-jam recordings to Wii Friends who have Wii Music. They'll see™your Mii band members, your players' improv styles and your instrumenselections. They can watch your recordings, or play over parts of your song, thensend their modified recording back to you. Improv jams can be sent back andforth over WiiConnect24 and changed again and again.

Beyond the Jam:
Wii Music includes many other modes besides the main band jams, including several musical games and an enhanced video playback mode for recorded jams.

Play it again: Use the playback mode to see your jam recordings brought to life with dramatic camera angles.
Pick up the baton: Command an orchestra in the conducting game where you'll wave the Wii Remote controller like a conductor's baton to lead a Mii orchestra
through orchestrated music. Make them play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently.
Ring a bell? Play a handbells game where you'll swing your Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to play your two handbells as part of a larger ensemble.
Everyone on the team has a job to do: Play one of your notes only when the tune demands it.
An ear for music: Take a tone quiz that tests your musical ear by giving you challenges, like putting note-playing Miis in order from lowest to highest pitch.
Bang the drum: Play a virtual drum set in the drumming mode, the one mode in Wii Music that also uses the Wii Balance Board accessory (sold with Wii Fit).
You'll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance Board—which work as virtual pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal.
