I watched this the other day and loved it. (Also, I have all of the Klingon books mentioned in this video.)

To be fair, Human music theory is also weird.
A lot of what we teach our kids about music theory is rooted in the firm foundation of "it is this way because it just is, so just remember it."
Like why is the circle of fourths and fifths the way it is? Because it just is. Remember it. When you're learning key signatures why doesn't the key match the signature (D major is F# and C#)? Because it just is. Remember it.
It's no wonder music theory gets completely lost on kids. It doesn't make any sense!

I hope videos like this will inspire future creative efforts like more Klingon opera on stage and screen.
