Music doesn't have any innate visual element. It's an auditory and tactile medium. In theory, Photoshop or Final Cut could add all sorts of "audiolization" tools, but the idea seems quite odd. Representing sound as visual images scarcely makes any more sense. We're living in a visual culture, so we tend to overlook the importance of the other senses.
VR currently provides no tactile feedback, which is absolutely vital in musical performance and production - muscle memory doesn't function without it. The theremin has been around for a century, but only a handful of people have ever learned to play it well. It's extraordinarily difficult to wave your hands around in mid-air with any amount of precision.
