LenMus
LenMus is free open source software for learning music theory.
It allows the musical student to focus on specific skills and
exercises, on both theory and aural training. The different activities
can be customized to meet your needs, and it provides interactive
feedback until mastery of each
concept is achieved. It also includes an score editor.
To run LenMus under Linux you can compile the source for
yourself. The main developer does not have the resources
to prepare distribution packages. Fortunately, there are packaged
versions at http://www.antonionicolaspina.com/open-source/
