Show HN: Game to play and learn music visually

I wanted to get my kids (3 and 6) excited about learning a musical instrument but I couldn't find a resource that they liked or something that didn't frustrate them quickly. As a side project I designed this simple game where the color and position of the balloons represent the musical notes while the distance between the balloons represents the timing. It ended up being a fun game for them to play as they enjoy controlling the timing of the melodies. At the same time it teaches them to recognize famous classical pieces and composers. As an adult I also find the game very relaxing and enjoyable. Any feedback would be great!

If for some reason the JS webapp above doesn’t work you can see a video of it in action here:
