Geocache Description:

Attention musically inclined geocachers! This series of mystery caches is dedicated to you. To find the correct coordinates, follow the instructions below and listen to the sound file in the link on this page. Decode the information and go to those coordinates to find the cache. Each container will feature one piece of music, and you can sign the back of the sheet music as the log.

In this sound file, an interval is played for every digit in the final coordinate. Figure out what each interval is to decode the coordinate. For example, if a perfect fourth and then a sixth were played, those digits would be 46. A drum beat represents an interval of 0. The sound file can be found here.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com. Email me if you need help!

NOTE: As suggested by bucknuts, I have increased the difficulty to a 4.5 since solving this puzzle requires some specialized knowledge. Finding the cache at the final location may also be somewhat challenging, and I would give it about 3 stars.
