.) I can imagine teaching playing piano changed to use something like this simply because it provides such a pleasant and so rewarding experience of accomplishment in contrast to what the "usual" way of learning the instrument tends to be. Who would drop lessons if this was the experience?
.) I see it as a very strong, supportive set of crutches. Currently only guiding the tempo of play but which could easily be extended to support other parts of play: reading notation, mapping to keys on the instrument, left/right hand coordination etc. etc.
.) Over time "the crutches" could become less and less supportive and in the end I could play my beloved "Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.2" without them and later start even interpreting it...
