WHAT IS THE HARMONIC WHEEL?

The Harmonic Wheel is a new representation of Sounds, where the Consonance Relationships among them are clearly shown. It is, therefore, a powerful tool for the comprehension of Music Theory and Harmony.

The Harmonic Wheel has been developed by considering 2 kinds of Consonance Relationships: Consonant Intervals (2 note consonances) and Consonant Chords (3 note consonances).

As it is based on the most fundamental relationships among sounds, its application field covers the different musical styles: classical music, modern music, jazz, latin music, etc. Moreover, it is designed in such a way that, in order to use it, it is not necessary to be able to read music.

Its final design consists of two rotating discs, being one cardboard and the other plastic. It comes with instructions, examples of use and a practical protective cover. Fig. 1 shows a picture of the Harmonic Wheel.
