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 give better results. At the song's conclusion, a round of applause emanates from the TV and a numerical score is shown, along with the player's rank as a conductor. The classifications include Passionate, Graceful, and Methodical. ^[6]

Six characters take part in a performance, although the game only supports up to four human players, the CPU takes care of the remaining parts. The gameplay itself is timing based. Players have to time button presses with notes. The controls vary depending on the instrument. ^[7]
