MindHarp

MindHarp is an iPad app. It allows anyone to immediately reap the benefits of actively engaging with musical sound.

Simply tapping any of the 8 coloured buttons triggers carefully designed and harmonised sounds. These beautifully composed soundscapes, melodies and harmonies are carefully crafted to support and enhance well-being for people of all ages.

Unlike conventional music apps, MindHarp is designed specifically for those who have never made music. MindHarp is intuitive and does not require any learning, practicing or musical background. It empowers engagement with musical sound without inhibition. Playing MindHarp is an interactive and immersive experience for individuals, pairs or small groups. The MindHarp can be used as an effective tool for Music Therapy and Well-Being.

Playing MindHarp enhances social interaction. Enables a sense of autonomy and builds confidence and self-esteem. Easy to engage with or without facilitators. The MindHarp can be used anywhere; at home, in care homes, care centres, and at schools.
