For example, instruments such as keyboards and percussion require the player to swing the controllers as if striking drums and some string instruments such as the violin and the guitar are played by moving the Wii Remote as if drawing a bow or strumming the strings, while the Nunchuk is held as if the gripping the instrument's neck and fingerboard. Because of the varying techniques required to play different instruments, the instruments in Wii Music are divided into "groups" to which certain movements or button presses play single notes. To play each of the instruments, the player mimics the required motions with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. The game offers a selection of sixty-six playable instruments, including the violin, drum, cowbell, flute, clarinet, saxophone, harmonica, piano, guitar, trumpet, harp, shamisen, maracas, sitar and marimba, as well as unconventional instruments such as dog and cat sounds, pseudo doo-wop vocals (singer), karate shouts (blackbelt), cheerleader cheers, and 8-bit sounds. Like all games in the Wii series, the players control Mii characters created using the console's Mii Channel. Similar to how Wii Sports simulates playing sports by mimicking the required gestures using the motion sensitive Wii Remote, Wii Music simulates playing music by mimicking the actions associated with the different instruments. Wii Music gameplay focuses on playing and arranging songs through improvisation using various instruments.

Wii Music is one of the original titles announced for the Wii console, first publicly playable at E3 2006, and then later re-introduced in greater detail at E3 2008. The game has been advertised by Nintendo as a means of "bring the joy and creativity of musicianship to home without expensive music lessons." Unlike other music games, such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, players are not scored on their performance and are encouraged to experiment with different ways to play various songs. In order to do so, players choose from a selection of musical instruments that are played by mimicking the required actions using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Wii Music focuses on creating arrangements of existing songs by controlling the members of an on-screen band. Wii Music is part of both Nintendo's Touch! Generations brand and the Wii series. The game was released in Japan and North America in October 2008, and in Europe and Australia in the following month. Wii Music is a music video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console.
