Is it possible to introduce new fonts symbols in QBASIC, such as music symbols (notes, keys, etc)

Yes, but you'll have to make your own fonts and your own font-displaying routines (or use somebody else's). It's really not all that hard, to tell the truth. Search some of the larger QB files archives -- like QB45.com or QB4all.com -- for some font routines.
There is also a tutorial on redefining the characters in the standard DOS font set here:

This might also work for you, though it's a rather complicated, roundabout way of doing it.
