Maestro is a rhythm game that allows one to experience music from the conductor’s point of view. Players step onto the conductor’s podium in a Parisian opera house, and lead the musicians with intuitive and expressive gestures. Players hold a Joy‑Con in each hand, one guiding the baton to keep tempo, the other cueing orchestra sections and controlling dynamics. 

Maestro is designed to be fun to play for anyone in any setting. The game doesn’t require music knowledge, and remains accessible to newcomers while offering a challenge for rhythm game fans. Four difficulty modes, global leaderboards, and a range of cosmetic unlocks give players room to grow and to make each performance their own. The game supports tabletop and docked play, equally suiting solo sessions and shared living room play.

The game’s iconic repertoire includes classical pieces by composers like Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart, as well as soundtracks from iconic franchises such as Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. The full tracklist is available on the official website.
