I like it. As a kid (and well into my 30s[1]), any time I tried to learn 'music theory' I was put off by the feeling that what I was learning was more about the goofy and confusing standard notation than it was about music. By fixing the notation that barrier could be removed and students could get straight into the interesting stuff sooner. At least I think it would have helped me!

[1] I eventually came to understand a lot of the concepts about scales/keys/etc by ignoring the notation and just horsing around on my MIDI keyboard a lot.
