I just want to say how grateful I am for the entire team at Flat! You are all so amazing. With Flat, I have taken music from being a hobby to actually earning commissions and writing for professional ensembles and recordings. Wow!

Since I've joined Flat, I've been able to grow as a musician and learn things I may not ever have learned in the music world. Again, I wanted to thank you for the amazing journey you have given me, through the monthly challenges, Flat Blog Posts, and a wonderful community that I take a responsibility to protect along with other great users
