F/OSS & cross-platform.

Haven't tried it but maybe someone out there can put this to good use.
Requires GTK & Python.

Also available via Debian Linux repositories

as well ....

Ear training software
GNU Solfege is an ear training program for X Window written
in Python, using the GTK+ 2.0 libraries. You can practice
harmonic and melodic intervals, chords, scales and rhythms,
and you can add new exercises using a simple plain text file format.

Ear training is a big subject with many connections to music theory
and performance of music, so I won't even try to make "a complete
computer-based ear training course". But I hope someone find this
software useful.

I've used this some under Debian
and it seems to work well ....
