For the Music Scholars section you might consider the Tam Tam suite,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Tam_Tam
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TamTam
It includes Csound,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Csound
One would have to include and switch to the Sugar Desktop,
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/
in order to use the current versions of Tam Tam.
Actually, sugar-emulator allows one to run Sugar in a GNOME window, so
switching would not be needed.
But, unfortunately, bugs are preventing sound emissions from Tam Tam for
Sugar in a window or in the Sugar Desktop. (Development has focused on the
XO laptop up to now.)
