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.
