Oh, neat! That's really cool.

First thing I would suggest is to turn off the music, or just send it a constant pitch, and see if you can get it working like that. It might be that the music is interfering with it.

The two wires need to be exactly the right distance apart, too close and it won't climb, too far and the arc won't strike at all. It is helpful to add a third electrode using a couple of high value resistors like I did with my one.
