Musical Note

Hi, is it potentially confusing to specifiy a type of musical note in this sentence? I know the treble clef part is correct, but quavers are simply one of many common types of note. Note sure if it's better than simply saying "notes".

"The way that music was written also immediately appealed to me: the treble clefs at the beginning of each line and the quavers which danced up and down the page were beautiful."

Anonymous quavers eighth notes. It is the length of time that a note is held. Others; semiquaver / demiquaver = a sixteenth note.
