It may be good for children or people that don't want to learn an instrument but what I recommend is to stop playing video games and learn an instrument.

Do you also recommend people who like playing Cooking Mama to stop playing video games and learn to cook instead? Or recommend people who play enjoy Roller Coaster Tycoon to quit and start a real buisness? Or recommend people who like playing Phoenix Wright stop and go to law school? Or recommend people who enjoy the Sims to stop playing video games and get a life? Or recommend people who enjoy Rainbow Six to stop playing games and join the army?

People often use video games as ways of living out their little fantasies. And while the most popular games usually embrace the most lavish and unlikely fantasies, there's still plenty of out there who want to indulged our less elbaroate ones as well.

I'm tone deaf, and I don't know jack about music. For me to learn an instrument now would take a LOT of my time, and I'm not sure if I'd have any success, all for something I'm not overly passionate it about. I wouldn't even know which insturment to even try. Wii Music let's have fun while playing make-beleive composer at a very small expense of time and money.

I have no dobut that learning an actual instrument and learning to play actual music would be infintely more of an experience then Wii Music can ever be. But I didn't get it to presue musical prowness, I bought it as fun piece of software for me to fiddle around with.
