[Edu] Need some teacher advice please

Pyramids as music notes make me think of a children's book I saw a few years
back that had a Thelonious Monk song done with a different color
representing a certain note.  As the song spiraled from page to page in the
book as a rainbow of colors you had illustrations of Monk and others
dancing, flying, and other neat things.

Maybe something similar could be done with pyramids.
