The kids got me Wii Music for Father's Day.

We were doubled-over laughing. It is a LOT of fun.

Best feature is a game where you can conduct an entire orchestra (or choir), using the remote as a baton. If the tempo lags, the ENTIRE group of musicians turns their heads IN UNISON toward you and stares, as if to say, WTF, MAESTRO!!?!?!? GET MOVING!!!

There are "lessons" for drums. And a handbell-playing game. And a lot of opptys to jam, meaning just go crazy with different styles of instruments.... Including one setting where your Mii wears a dog costume and barks in time w/the music.

Five Batons up for Wii Music!

Pictures... we need pictures..

or video... that would be preferable

(pictures or video of you and the girls playing the game ... not of the game itself!)

I'd say they have you figured out pretty good!!! What a perfect gift for you. I want to second the video request of it being played!

I have *always* wanted to conduct an orchestra. This is probably the closest I'll get.

And best of all, no musicians' union to worry about!!!

Glad it was fun. I got this for SU for Christmas. He is a muscian, he plays drums, guitar and a some piano. He has never opened it. It was something he asked for. Heck I want to play it!

Swipe it and pop it in. It is a hoot!

One of his musician friends was over and I suggested that they play. We bowled instead. I will have to get him to try it.
