If you're interested in using Python for music, whether that's algorithmic composition, computational music theory, or musicology, you've doubtless encountered music21. It's great, but can be a bit prickly. MIT has a great Open Courseware course with music21's creator, Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, and it's really great! (Yes, that was the third time I said 'great' and that was the fourth.)

I've been using and refining my ear training app, and here is the lasted version and what I've learned.

The good news is my interval recognition now sucks somewhat less. 💪 #python #jupyter #music21

I've just lost half an afternoon playing with #Music21, a #Python toolkit from #MIT for Computational Musicology. I've barely scratched the surface so far: I had a vague notion of doing something like this, but Music21 is way beyond what I imagined. You can analyse and manipulate existing music, or create whole structured pieces from scratch as calculated objects (notes, chords etc.) and export the score. Keys and scales are next on the agenda.
