Create a music notation assignment with Microsoft Teams

This page walks you through creating and posting a Flat for Education assignment to your Microsoft Teams.

Once your Microsoft Teams class is set up on Flat for Education, you can create music notation assignments — compositions, auto-graded worksheets, or performance activities — and post them directly to your Teams channel. Students open them from their Teams feed with one click, and their grades sync back to your Teams gradebook automatically.

Creating an assignment

Flat for Education offers a wide range of activities, all sync-ready with Google Classroom:

• Composition — music notation projects using the score editor
• Shared Writing — students co-create and edit the same score together in real time
• Worksheet — auto-graded music theory exercises
