Why Use Noteflight for Music Instruction?

Accessible. Noteflight's easy-to-use interface allows younger learners to intuitively interact with notation and musical ideas. Accessing Noteflight, creating music, sharing scores and giving feedback is intuitive and fun. Young musicians can finally experience notation as a "learning by doing" activity, one that they can pursue both at school and at home with Noteflight.

Foster a Musical Community. Noteflight builds a private, secure, online K-12 community for instruction and learning that is separate from the public Noteflight.com site. It's perfect for group composition activities and informal sharing. Younger students do not need an email account to participate.

Portable. Teachers and students are no longer confined to a lab or classroom. Noteflight can be used anywhere, anytime. Lessons and exercises are easily accessed from your students' home computer and Noteflight scores can be experienced on any mobile device, including smartphones, the iPad and other tablets.

Unlocking Creativity. Interaction and collaboration unlocks student creativity through direct, "hands-on" experimentation with notation. It's easy and fun to write music, especially when it's so simple to share your creations with your friends, classmates, and parents.

Affordable. We offer attractive pricing that gives teachers access to a full-featured notation program with the flexibility and portability that you require. The Noteflight K-12 Community subscription is priced well below the cost of traditional boxed software that comes with on-going fees and hardware updates.

Create online examples. Teachers can embed scores in web pages or blogs with audio playback. Students can playback all of a score or just a few measures and can listen to individual parts and notes as their cursor follows the playback. Scores can be easily synchronized with both audio and video for interactive learning.

Create your own classroom website. Noteflight also offers Noteflight Learning Edition (NLE) that seamlessly integrates with many Learning Management Systems via the Basic LTI standard, which makes it a snap to create and use web-based activities that include music listening, music creation, text, video, images and anything else on the web that you can imagine. You are able to also easily manage your class roster and student logins. Integration options include popular LMSs such as Desire2Learn, Haiku and Moodle.

Ready for the classroom. Noteflight has partnered with the Vermont MIDI Project to create a resource library of ready-made, teacher-tested learning activities. Each activity provides you with useful ideas for how to use and adapt Noteflight to your methods and your classroom. View the library of learning activities.
