8 Best Free and Open Source Linux Educational Music Software

Music education is a field of study connected with the learning and teaching of music. Music is an essential part of the fabric of our society, and the intrinsic value of music is widely recognized. Human culture uses music to carry forward its ideas and ideals.

The benefits of music education should not be underestimated. Studies have shown that music education can offer a marked improvement in a child’s reading skills. By receiving training in complex rhythmic and tonal skills, music education enhances cognitive performance in reading skills. Music education also helps with mathematics and science. The skill of keeping a steady rhythm, working out how long a note is, thinking about complex patterns are just a few examples of how music helps in this way.

An essential part of learning is to make music lessons fun. This can be achieved with music games, lesson plans, and worksheets.

Hopefully there will be something of interest for anyone looking to smarten their ears, heighten their appreciation of music, learn music theory and language, and above all to have fun in learning.

Solfege has many features I like the way it’s built. As for Minuet and Tete they don’t seem to be supported anymore.
