Teachers create assignments, auto-graded theory exercises, sight-reading tasks, and performance assessments. Students compose, collaborate, and submit work in real time, from any device, without installing any software. It integrates natively with Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, and MusicFirst, among 20+ other platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Students access Flat for Education through a school-managed account, created and controlled by the teacher or admin. That is precisely what makes it safe and FERPA-compliant for classroom use. It is also why graduating students lose access when their school email is deactivated or when the school's subscription doesn't carry them forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fflat.io\u002Fedu?utm_source=blog\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Flat for Education\u003C\u002Fa> is a school tool. It was designed that way on purpose. But that design creates a real problem at the end of the year if no one plans for the transition.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"why-graduating-students-lose-access-and-why-it-matters\">Why Graduating Students Lose Access (and Why It Matters)\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>A student who joined your music class and spent the year (or multiple years!) composing original pieces, working through sight-reading exercises, and recording performance assessments has built something real. It might be a portfolio piece. It might be something they want to show a college admissions panel or a summer music program. It might just be the best thing they've made so far, and they'd like to keep it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But their access to that work is tied to two things: your school's subscription and their school email address. When they graduate, both can become unreliable. Most school districts deactivate student email accounts within weeks of the last day of school. Flat for Education accounts tied to those emails become unreachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is a 90-day window between account expiry and permanent deletion. In theory, students could act during that time. In practice, most don't know the window exists. They try to log in over the summer, find they can't, assume their work is gone, and move on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The fix is simple, and it sits entirely with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"what-graduating-a-student-actually-means-in-flat-for-education\">What \"Graduating\" a Student Actually Means in Flat for Education\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>When a student account is converted in Flat for Education, it moves from your school-managed organisation to a free personal account on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fflat.io\u002F?ref=blog.flat.io\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Flat\u003C\u002Fa>, the consumer version of the platform. This is completely separate from Flat for Education and does not require a school subscription.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A few things to be clear about here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The free Flat account is not a school account. It does not have LMS integrations, classroom features, teacher dashboards, or assignment workflows. It's a notation and composition tool for personal use. Students can continue writing music, open and edit every score they brought with them, and build on the work they started in your class. They just do it outside the school environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The conversion does not affect your account, your other students, your assignments, or your classes. It only moves the students you select. Everyone returning next year stays exactly as they are.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The conversion is permanent. Once a student is moved out of your organisation, they are no longer on your licence. You cannot undo the educational data that is deleted with the conversion, such as the grades, which is why it's worth being deliberate about who you select. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"before-you-convert-the-one-thing-students-need-to-do-first\">Before You Convert: The One Thing Students Need to Do First\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>This is the step that causes the most problems, and it's also the easiest to prevent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every Flat for Education student account is linked to an email address. When you convert a student to a free personal account, that email address becomes their login for Flat. If the email address is a school address that will be deactivated after graduation, the student will be locked out of their new account before they've ever used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ask your graduating students to update their email address to a personal one before you run the conversion. This can be done from within their account settings. It takes 30 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If a student has already lost access to their school email and cannot log in to update it themselves, contact the Flat for Education support team at \u003Ca href=\"mailto:edu@flat.io\">edu@flat.io\u003C\u002Fa>.

The classroom features in Flat for Education, including LMS integrations with Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, and MusicFirst, teacher dashboards, assignment workflows, and assessment tools, are part of the school subscription and do not transfer. That is by design. Flat is a personal creative tool. Flat for Education is a school platform. They serve different purposes, and the conversion moves students from one to the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"when-to-do-this-and-what-happens-if-you-dont\">When to Do This (And What Happens If You Don't)\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The ideal time to run conversions is before your school's subscription expires, while you still have admin access to the People page. Two to three weeks before the last day of school is a reasonable window. It gives students time to update their emails beforehand and gives you time to contact support if anything goes wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If your subscription has already lapsed, you still have a 90-day grace period before student accounts are permanently deleted. The conversion tool remains available during that window. But waiting introduces risk: students may try to log in, find they can't, and assume their work is gone. Acting before expiry removes all of that uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If no action is taken, student accounts are permanently deleted after 90 days. There is no recovery after that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"a-note-on-what-this-isnt\">A Note on What This Isn't\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>This post is about graduating students, specifically students who are leaving your programme for good and need their work moved somewhere they can keep it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you have students moving to a different school that also uses Flat for Education, account transfers between institutions work differently.

Generate a new exercise for each student using the same instrument and difficulty settings. Each generated exercise is unique, so students cannot share or look up the answer. You can create multiple exercises quickly and assign them individually through the performance assignment tool. This is the most rigorous approach for individual playing test contexts where you want evidence of genuine first-read performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"how-do-students-record-their-sight-reading\">How do students record their sight reading?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Students open the performance assignment in Flat for Education on any device (Chromebook, tablet, laptop, or phone) and use the built-in recording tool, which uses the device microphone.

When you mark a performance assignment in Flat for Education, the grade returns automatically to Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, depending on which LMS you're using. Students see their grade and any comments in their normal coursework view. You don't need to enter grades manually in a second system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"can-i-use-the-sight-reading-generator-for-a-class-warm-up-without-creating-a-formal-assignment\">Can I use the sight-reading generator for a class warm-up without creating a formal assignment?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes. Generate an exercise, project it on screen, and use it for a class read-through without creating any assignment. The generator works as a standalone tool independent of the assignment workflow. The formal assignment structure (with recording and grade return) is for contexts where you want individual evidence and a gradebook entry. Both uses are valid, and many teachers use both in the same week.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fflat.io\u002Fedu\u002Ftools?utm_source=blog\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fbanner-sight-reading2.png\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1808\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fbanner-sight-reading2.png 600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1000\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fbanner-sight-reading2.png 1000w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fbanner-sight-reading2.png 1600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fbanner-sight-reading2.png 1808w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 720px) 720px\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp>Flat for Education's sight-reading generator and performance assignment tools work together to make regular sight-reading practice possible without significant teacher preparation time.

It's different from a tuner: the tuner tells you whether a note is in tune, while the tone generator gives you a target to match. In an ensemble, a teacher sets a reference pitch (typically A440) and students tune to it. In ear training, a tone generator provides the anchor note for interval or chord recognition exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tone generator in Flat for Education lets teachers set a reference pitch for the whole class or lets students use it independently for ear training or intonation work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Ftone-generator--1-.png\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Ftone-generator--1-.png 600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1000\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Ftone-generator--1-.png 1000w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Ftone-generator--1-.png 1600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw2400\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Ftone-generator--1-.png 2400w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 720px) 720px\">\u003Cfigcaption>\u003Cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Tone Generator on Flat for Education \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp>In practice, this replaces the piano chord or tuning fork that teachers currently use to start rehearsal. It also extends the usefulness of the tuner: students use the tone generator to find the target pitch, then the tuner to check their instrument against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For students working on ear training exercises outside of class, the tone generator gives them an anchor without needing a piano or keyboard. They can work on interval recognition or pitch matching independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 id=\"sound-analysis\">Sound Analysis\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The sound analysis tool gives students a visual representation of their playing: a waveform and spectral view of the sound they're producing. Students record themselves, see the resulting audio visualisation, and get a different kind of feedback from what notation or a grade provides.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This tool works differently from the others. The metronome, tuner, and tone generator all give students a target or a check. Sound analysis gives them a picture of what they're actually producing. That visual representation is useful for students who learn differently from verbal or written feedback, and for any student trying to understand the relationship between what playing \u003Cem>feels\u003C\u002Fem> like and what it actually sounds like.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For teachers, sound analysis provides a low-stakes way for students to self-assess tone quality before submitting a performance assignment. A student who records themselves and sees a jagged, inconsistent waveform before submitting is more likely to take another pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fsound-analysis--1-.png\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fsound-analysis--1-.png 600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1000\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fsound-analysis--1-.png 1000w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw1600\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fsound-analysis--1-.png 1600w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog.flat.io\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002Fsize\u002Fw2400\u002F2026\u002F04\u002Fsound-analysis--1-.png 2400w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 720px) 720px\">\u003Cfigcaption>\u003Cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sound Analysis on Flat for Education \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 id=\"these-tools-and-the-new-plans\">These tools and the new plans\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The metronome, tuner, tone generator, and sound analysis tools are included in Flat for Education's Teacher Plan and School or District Plan.

All four practice tools are browser-based and run on Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets without any installation. Students access them through the same Flat for Education workspace they use for assignments. There's no separate app to download or account to create.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"can-students-use-the-tuner-with-any-instrument\">Can students use the tuner with any instrument?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes. The chromatic tuner uses the device microphone and detects pitch from any instrument or voice. It works for woodwinds, brass, strings, voice, piano, and guitar. For transposing instruments, students can adjust the reference accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"is-the-tone-generator-the-same-as-a-tuner\">Is the tone generator the same as a tuner?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>No. The tuner detects the pitch you're playing and tells you whether it's in tune. The tone generator produces a sustained pitch for you to tune to or sing against. They work together: the tone generator gives you the target, the tuner confirms whether you've matched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"can-i-use-the-metronome-during-a-composition-assignment\">Can I use the metronome during a composition assignment?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes. The tools and the notation editor are in the same platform. Students working on a composition can open the metronome, set it to their intended tempo, and check whether the piece works at that speed. They can also use the tuner and tone generator alongside notation work without switching tabs or applications.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 id=\"are-these-tools-available-on-the-free-trial\">Are these tools available on the free trial?\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Yes.
