https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11394 That's exactly what this is.
As a follower of synthesis, your money is better spent at places like http://noise.kitchen/ (checkout the Kastle & Kastle DIY kit)
However this kit is very much the exact thing you use as a bench function generator when working with signals in electronics.
Actual oscillators that are of high quality and tuned for music are different in many regards and approaches to th actual design.
Saying that, you can hook this in and sample it or mutate it and engineer it's output into anything given enough work and effort. After all you only really need a single sine wave to make any sound (as insane as that statement sounds).
Saying that though I would expect a synth to have control voltage for it's controls and inputs such as midi for controlling composition and timing. Otherwise I would just think of it as a function generator.
