I do like the idea of worksheets in Flat.io and I really like the ability to embed Flat.io in Google Docs. People can, of course, buy personal subscriptions–but then you also do not have access to the education features. You will have a very hard decision to make.

The best features of both of these tools (Flat actually gives you all key features free, without any classroom features, and limited personal storage Noteflight gives you a very basic version for free) are paid and as such, you aren’t likely to have both available for your classroom. Second, they have now added a feature that allows you to add a Flat.io excerpt inside a Google Doc. First, they added the ability to have worksheets for the education version. I should mention that Noteflight now integrates with Google Classroom.įlat.io recently introduced two features that are pretty exciting. Flat utilized Google log-ins, which made its educational version a great fit for our choir program last year (we bought a one month subscription). Flat.io has one other strength, which is its ties to Google. As Flat.io grows (much like Noteflight), it does add more features and eventually, complexity. I think Flat.io is usually easier to use as. You can subscribe to Noteflight through their own website, or through MusicFirst.įlat.io has only been around three years or so, and they have traveled a different direction. In my opinion, Noteflight is the more mature of the two programs, with a broad spectrum of palettes as well as a wonderful education-based version called Noteflight Learn that comes with a number of tools, including a set of literature. There are two web-based traditional music notation programs…Flat.io and Noteflight.
