COMPOSITION TYPES
From first melody to full orchestration
Flat for Education is music composition software designed for K-12 classrooms, from elementary general music to AP Music Theory. Teachers can limit available notation tools by grade level, so every student gets the right amount of challenge without the platform getting in the way.
Every level. One platform.
Every level of composer gets the tools they need; nothing more, nothing less. Toolsets let teachers restrict the notation palette so beginners aren't overwhelmed, while advanced students access the full professional editor.

Collaborative Composition
Shared Writing lets every student edit the same score simultaneously — like Google Docs, but for music notation. Assign a class composition project and watch it develop in real time. Every student's contribution is visible the moment they enter a note.
