I use Audacity for my own practice, and I recommend it to my students
(they're all on Windows, Audacity is cross-platform). The Change Tempo
and Change Pitch functions are wonderful, I use them frequently during
lessons here.

    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

It's in most distros these days, so check your repo for an installable
package.

Best,
