A stepstone to the real stuff
Youth Music, a British organisation, consequently concludes that the recent popularity of these games is very good for music in general. About one out of five youngsters who play an instrument say that they started because games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band made them get a taste of it.

Andrew Missingham, the music expert who led the research, had the following to say:
The music games are popular because they are family friendly and inclusive. And it is this take-up of the games that is credited with the take up of musical instruments, the development of transferable musical skills and even the development of performance confidence.

This research for the first time shows conclusively that young people are being inspired to make their own music by games that first piqued their interest.
In conclusion, the study's report states that there are many potential musicians among young people and that in this aspect music games really can help developing music skills.
