Mindful Harmony is an app for composers, songwriters and those who wish to improve their music theory through practical use of the circle of fifths. The basic app is available for free, but for $5.99 (around £4.76) per month you can upgrade to Premium, which gives you access to a greater selection of harmonic possibilities and a modulation generator that will suggest chord possibilities to help change keys.
I am always sceptical of the true value of an app versus pencil and manuscript, but, for those who share my misgivings, let us embrace the age we are in: this is a powerful tool that pupils will be able to explore easily from their devices. It might just help them to unlock creativity that they couldn’t quite access before.
