I think this is a great project, and might particularly appeal to students who are interested in physics but a bit intimidated (which is a common situation for women in particular) so for the sake of those, in your position I'd work hard to make the physics accessible and always motivated through the musical side.
(this is based on my experience as an undergrad in a third-year neuroscience course - the tutor was aware there were a lot of biology students with no background or interest in electronics who could easily be intimidated by the electronics, and she saw it as a chance to use our interest in neuroscience to overcome the intimidation about electronics. I've also personally pulled a statistician who was intimidated by biology into being a biometrician.)
