I am a music educational researcher in Sweden who have several years
of linux experience as a user. Now I have began to invesitigate music
education and open source. I have several approaches to this sucha as
a philosophical analysis of open source in relation to music education
and a planned action research project with teachers with no previous
knowledge of linux as a creative tool.
Now I am looking for examples of music teachers with experience of
using linux in their classrooms in order to investigate how thy have
approached this, which problems they have encountered (and solved?)
and so forth. This is important in order to document and analyse
existing and previous practice in order to document leard from it so
that not everyone will need to constantly reinvent the wheel.
I know I have read on this list about people using linux in their
teaching of music. I would very much like to get in contact with such
teachers. I some of you teach or know of some teachers who use linux,
please contact me!
Hi Ketil,
I use Linux for all my teaching purposes. I prepare scores with
LilyPond, I record student pieces with Ardour, I make DVDs of their
recitals using Linux software to capture and arrange video from my
miniDV camera, we use Audacity to learn material, et cetera et cetera.
I've written some articles you might find useful:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/music-education-linux-sound-tools-redux
I've also written articles about specific software packages and how I
use them with my students and in my own projects. A partial list can be
found here:

I've had a few students get into Linux themselves, but most use either
Windows or Mac music software at home.
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
