In their own words
Minuet
Minuet is a free music education application for ear training, with exercises for intervals, chords, scales, and rhythm patterns, including rests. It helps users identify notes through keyboard and staff feedback. Sing intervals and scales to receive live pitch and timing feedback, or clap written rhythms and see where beats land. Exercise controls let users adjust tempo, instruments, test length, and microphone feedback. Minuet is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS, and is licensed under GPL-2.0+. Linux installation options include AppStream stores, distribution package managers, and Flathub. KDE also provides nightly builds for testing on Flatpak, Windows, and macOS. The Minuet page links to a handbook, KDE forum, kde-edu mailing list, and #kde-edu on Libera.chat. KDE's software privacy policy says data is generally not transferred from a device except after an explicit user action; any telemetry, where present, is opt-in and disabled by default.
