More than a Lesson Plan: A Complete TEKS Music Program.
Everything you need to teach, assess, and document — in one place.

Save time with a 36-week scope and sequence, already built
Every grade level comes with a full year of sequenced instruction. Units are ordered intentionally, lessons build on each other, and pacing guides adapt to your school's calendar. You spend your time teaching, not designing curriculum from scratch.

Engage every learner with digital score annotation and composition
Students don't just read about musical concepts. They annotate scores directly, compose original phrases, record performances, and give structured peer feedback. Every task produces an assessable artifact.

Works with your schedule
Daily classes, rotating schedules, A/B days, once-a-week models. The TEKS units include detailed pacing guidance for six different scheduling structures so the curriculum works the way your school actually runs.

Empowering the next generation of musicians
Flat for Education is available to students to use for personal projects and practice, if desired, giving every student the power to be a creator, with the ability to export their work to tools like Soundtrap.
