Instructional software can stretch a grant request across the full school year. With Flat for Education, students can compose, practise, complete music activities, and submit work from the devices your school already uses.
Music creation for every student
Students can write, hear, revise, and share their own music in a browser-based notation editor.
Practice and assessment tools included
Sight-reading, tuner, metronome, collaborative compositions, and automatically marked music theory activities support everyday classroom use.

Flat for Education runs in the browser on Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets. If needed, a downloadable desktop app for the notation editor is also available.
