There are no indicators of any kind to show how well the player is performing, forcing the player to try to match the original music from memory, and experiment to find which movements will yield a higher score. Different movements affect the performance of the orchestra. Mii Maestro, where players use the Wii Remote as a baton to conduct an orchestra, swinging the controller up and down to a certain tempo.

Īlong with the freeform Jam Mode, Wii Music features three minigames that feature a scoring system: Players can then save their overall performance as a music video for later playback, or share it with other players via WiiConnect24. Players can also do what is called an 'Overdub' session in which the same song is played again controlling a different musician or instrument this allows the players to play over the music recorded in previous playthroughs and allows a single player to play all parts of a band. The quality of the new arrangement is up to the player's judgement. Consequentially, players are encouraged to practice and experiment with different ways to play songs using any arrangement of instruments, either choosing to stick close to the guide or diverge from it and create unique compositions. Instead, the internal music track for each section of all songs is specially programmed to respond to all possible player actions: the game will attempt to make any notes played be harmonious to the song, including those played outside the original melody. Unlike other music games such as Rock Band or Guitar Hero where players are scored based on playing certain notes at specific times, Jam Mode lacks a scoring system and does not objectively penalize for missing or playing 'incorrect' notes nor do players have any control over the pitch of the notes played. Softer notes can be played with slower Wii Remote movement, and holding various buttons can create damping, muting, chords, tremolo, arpeggio, and glissando. All instruments have extra playing options, where additional button-presses or restricted movements have different effects on the sound. The Wii Balance Board can also be utilized in playing the various drum kits, emulating the foot-operated pedals. 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.
