I always thought that the appeal of Wii Sports, Fit, or Brain Age was in feeling like you weren't really wasting your time in playing them. In Wii Music, it seems they lost this. I feel if they took the approach of "learning" rather than "playing", it might have had more appeal.
Also I think it would have made a big difference if the game was bundled with some type of instrument. A guitar, keyboard, or anything that would make the idea of music creation more concrete than it was from the Wii remote and nunchuk.
