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. Let us know when it is reseased! Best regards (og lykke til!) Ketil
