I'm making a bard themed dungeon and I want to include some musically themed traps and puzzles. Unfortunately I am a decidedly non-musical person. I enjoy listening to music but I have no idea what goes into playing or reading music. So, I'm looking for cool ideas or places i might steal ideas from. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I remember in the movie "The Goonies" there was a pipe organ that opened a secret door if you played the right notes on it. If you didn't, part of the floor around the organ collapsed revealing a pit. Too many mistakes and you fell in. Maybe something like that.
I played with the idea of a dungeon built by evil bards using a lyre of building. They used their great knowledge of acoustics to make rooms that enhanced sound-based spells cast within them, like adding a metamagic feat to the spell. There would be a room that empowered spells, heightened spells, maximized spells, etc.
Kobold Press's website has a really cool ticking clock-based trap on it with sound stuff associated with it.
Regarding the pipe organ idea, what if you had to
Maybe traps that deal with thunder, harmonics, poems, string instruments, horns, pipes, flutes & wind, etc.
