But if I had to choose a musical education tool for teachers
and young people, might I not be better off with a midi
program such as muse or rosegarden4?

What would be the advantage of csound/cecilia?

I gather that csound is the emacs of the music world,
but I have already removed emacs from my live CD,
because I regard it as frightening to the average user.
