Welcome to GNU Solfege

Solfege is a free eartraining program. The program is part of the GNU Project. Check the section called “Online resources” for info on mailinglists and where to get the latest version of Solfege.

One of the ideas of this program is that you can extend the program without having to dig into the source code. If you want to practise some special chords or want to practise dictation with some music not included, you can write lesson files and put them into a lessonfiles/ subdirectory in your $HOME directory. If you create good lesson files, you really should consider contributing them by sending them to the mailinglist so I can add them to the next version of this program.
