My Sugar activities are named:
Our Music
Our Music MC
Sun-Moon Music
Sun-Moon Music MC
FileMix
FileMixAuto
SamplePlay
ChimePlay

The "MC" refers to Multiple Controller (for multiple student interaction - 
usually multiple MIDI slider "boxes")

You'll find these OLPC/XO activities either:
in my composition list at: www.arthunkins.com
or at:
http://activities.sugarlabs.org
  search on "music" - I am abhunkin
You'll see other musical activities (especially the TamTam series) there as 
well.

To get acquainted with Sugar, create a Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) USB drive 
(suggest a 2MB stick), and use it to boot on any computer with a USB port.
