Sims 4: Beats and Rhythm Ideas
Summary: Expand your sims musical skills and journey with them as they plunge into the world of the art of rhythm and sound. Move your sims to a new world where the greatest bands, musicians, and singers live. Start a band or musical group. Go on musical tours, hop from town to town and perform in parks, underground clubs, festivals, and concerts.
Venues
Concert park
Similar to festivals, they pop up every now and then with new bands, singers and musicians. Sims can go solo or with a group of friends to rave and jam to their favorite music. Buy limited time only merch, t-shirts, wrist bands, beanies, jackets, and sweatshirts.
Concert House
Similar to bars, but a popular venue where your musical sims can go perform solo or with their band. Meet other famous musicians and bands. Make money and gain fan followers. Get praised with claps and shouts or booed off the stage and get pelted with tomatoes or eggs
Music Learning Center
Send your sims to the music learning center to improve their music or singing to quickly improve their skills than compared to learning solo.
Rent out a studio for sims who desire to mentor or coach.

Which song would you like turned into Simlish?
This is a fantastic idea! I particularly like the idea of Sims having different singing abilities. If singing's going to be a big feature, what about the ability to sing opera as well? 😁
I might be going a bit too far here but also what about the ability to put on musicals (I'm aware there are acting sets in Get Famous so maybe something similar?) with costumes available in CAS.

Bassoon death, though? o.o
As someone who did symphonic band in high school, I saw my friends get stabbed with a bassoon mouthpiece/reed more times that I can count.
I've played bassoon for over a decade now. I don't recall that ever happening to me or anyone else. Not saying that it doesn't happen, just that I think it's a little dramatic to add a death with the bassoon when that has never happened for any other instrument in the series (correct me if I'm wrong). Out of all of the years I've played the instrument, the worst thing that could happen was bonking someone else with the bell because you're not careful. lol
Yeah, apparently, people have died from bassoon deaths, but I think it's rare.
Sadly, they probably will never put an old major record label hit song in Simlish due to the costs (royalties) of licensing, and the extension around the turn of the century on copyrights and patents (DMCA, I'm looking at you). So basically, we would be talking songs by indie artists, or less well known singers/songwriters looking to promote their music. And yes, that is the accountant (along with the cynic) in me talking.
I would preorder immediately if they came out with an expansion pack that included everything you have mentioned.
Yeah, true, but I think they once had a Katy Perry song before in the Sims 3 so they might be able to get some of those artists or bands to sing. If the sims team does make this pack I hope they are able to get many of the artists or bands I listed.
Garage bands.
