Games in this list require the player to interactively play music on an in-game instrument. For example, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), the player must play various tunes on the ocarina using buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller to play various notes.

Game Description
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) You often have to play the ocarina using the N64 controller.
Seiklus (W32) You must jump onto a floor keyboard to play a tune.
Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny (A2, AMI, AST, C64, C128, DOS, FMT, PC88, PC98, X68) You have to play the song Stones on a harpsichord using your PC keyboard.
Wonder Boy In Monster World (GEN, SMS, TGCD) You must play three different tunes on an ocarina with the Genesis controller buttons to unlock doors.

Please do not include games where the player has no control over the music that an in-game instrument plays. For example, in The Legend of Zelda (NES), Link plays a recorder, but the player has no control over which notes are played. Also, don't include games just because the player has the ability create music on non-musical devices. For example, if a game lets you enter numbers into a touch-tone phone, you can technically play "music" with the numbers, but this is not intended.
