Now that's a wonderful idea, Thomas! I'd change it slightly, though... I
think having colors for pitches would be a bit awkward, I'd rather see
"vertical" position for the pitch and horizontal length for the length of
the note. Maybe there would be a "music baseplate" that would read the
positions of the bricks you put on it, rather than the bricks themselves
being musical. That would make a direct conceptual link forward to reading
sheet music.
Any electronic geniuses out there feel like building us a music baseplate?
