Sky: Children of the Light has a rich music component. In addition to an Original Sound Track that provides a variety of realm-dependent background music, players are able to perform music themselves. Players can perform solo or in groups. Even those who don't want to (or haven't been able to) get an instrument can enjoy listening to other skykids' performances.
Overview
Dozens of different musical instruments are available to play. A simplified interface allows people to start playing without any music training. At the simplest level, music can be a rhythm mini-game, especially with Music Sheets and the daily music sheet challenge. On the other hand, players can choose to play any music freeform.
Separate articles focus on the different elements of playing music.
- Instruments: A list of all the collectible instruments in the game, where to obtain them, the pitch range of each instrument, and general information about how to play them.
- Music Sheets: A list of all the collectible music sheets, where to obtain them, and information on the cues used by music sheets to show the song's notes.
- Music Key: How your instrument's key is determined, and where to go in Sky to change the key.
