Surely it's better just to remember 50, 90, 100, 120, which is just a sequence of 4 numbers which could, in a pinch, probably be derived, even if they're not general knowledge.
Otherwise you'll be pootling along when your instructor asks you what the speed limit is: do you then have to think "oh, this is a major road, it's in the third category, that's an "E", an "E" is the tenth note (remember to skip over the first "E" which is actually the third note, ... ) etc.?
What I mean is, if you have to remember G D E G, you might just as well remember 50, 90, 100, 120.

There are 12 notes in an octave, or more if you subscribe to the teachings of Harry Partch.

Interesting, if a little above my Grade 4 Piano (and self-taught whistling/humming). Baffled as to how his mother managed to die in a trolley accident, though. Unless she was vying for a spot at the 'yellow sticker' section in Tesco.
