Nintendo has been passing their software off as educational gimmicks for quite some time. From advocating that schools use their DS as a tool for eduction. To selling adults on Brain Training games. That said the premise that this is a useful educational tool is far fetched at the best.
Young children already create music of their own accord without guidance. They use their creative instincts to turn almost anything into a musical instrument. They will sing along to music, create their own songs, and will sing with one another. In fact I would prefer children do that then use this game.
The reasoning is sound creating music in the real world imparts a great many lessons to the young mind. Imagine your first musical instrument chances are it was probably something like a bucket. Can you remember that discovery how it sounded different when it was on the ground then if you slung it under your arm. You found that hitting it in different places made different sounds.
Music is a learning process, and you cannot substitute this process with a video game. You need to use real instruments real or fashioned to capture the correct experience. You want to get a child enthusiastic about creating music give them a bucket. They will learn far more from that. Free form creativity is the way to go, and the thing that teaches you the most at that age.
