HARMONICONYour Music Theory RPG
Our Mission
Our Mission with Harmonicon is to gamify the process of learning music theory. Teachers are expensive, and lessons are long. Harmonicon offers short-interactive levels to teach even the hardest topics from college-level music theory courses.
The Journey

Interactive Music Engines

Explore the Realms
The World Map is divided into major regions known as Areas, which act like chapters in a textbook covering broad concepts like the Circle of Fifths. Within each Area, you will discover multiple Crests, representing the specific subtopics—such as individual musical keys—that make up the larger concept. By playing through and beating the levels attached to a Crest, you will conquer that specific subtopic; once every Crest in an Area is completed, the entire region is mastered. To ensure that absolute beginners never feel overwhelmed, the world map follows a carefully structured progression, allowing you to build your musical foundation step-by-step as you explore the world of Harmonicon.
Our Pedagogy & Levels
We believe levels should be short, bit-sized, but also adequately challanging and interactive as to build real connections in your brain instead of you reading without processing.
Here's a screenshot from a level inside the Treble Clef Crest. See the simplicity? One paragraph and then immediately into interactive practice!
Lost? The Codex will Help
The Codex is your book of all of Harmonicon's content. Figure out which areas have what content, which crests still need completings, and the spells you have aquired.
Here's a screenshot of The Grand Staff & Notation crest's codex entry. You can see which crest are in the area, and by clicking on the crest, you can see the information regarding it like spells unlocked there.
Battle Other Wizards
From completing levels you unlock spells. Use them in battle against other wizards of similar skill. Casting a spell requires you to recite a passage of music using your MIDI device.
