Very interesting! I'm a teacher in Norway as well
and have thought about
starting to use linux apps in my music teaching, but have found it to
cumbersome in the present state. I think audacity is the way to go as it
is
multiplatform. The pupils and teachers can easily use
it on their windows
home-pc. Both Muse and rosegarden is fine, although I personally find Muse
a
bit more intuitive. One of them should be included for
composing by way of
notation. If there is space I'd definately use the ear-training app.
That's a good point. Multiplatform is nice because your students may then
want to experiment at home, but be not quite ready for linux yet. Audacity,
PD, and Csound all run well under windows too and make a fun ( and
powerful! ) combination.
