Is Chinese simlified music correct and easier to learn?

Ni Er created Chinese simplified music form. His way only uses 1(dow), 2 (ri), 3(mee), 4(far), 5(saw), 6(la),7(xee) in combination with pitches of a given music. Music theory is very rich, and has a lot of useful information. More and more people are interested about music, as well as learning and performing music. However, it may take quite of years to master all the scales and to perform them well. Is simplified music form helpful in music learning? Yes, it did and has been doing great in China. Will it be helpful here in places other than in China? Is it correct when comparing to the standard five staff sheet music? Is it sounding different from the music based on five staff sheet music?

Med Music has performed a brief overview of these questions based on the comparison of simplified music theory and five staff sheet music theory. One firm view is that simplified music form in combination with 12 major scales creates music identical to five staff based music, and these two forms are easily exchangeable in practice. The key connects these two music form is the pattern of pitches: W W H W W W H in conjunction of the identical 12 major scales.  This view is validated in both instruments and vocal as regard to major music scales. Whether the simplified music form will be helpful in study of music theory and make the study easier and more interesting may need to be answered in music teaching.
