Find the Harmonic Minor on Keyboard

The short answer: Find the Harmonic Minor drills harmonic minor — natural minor with a raised 7th (1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 7) — across the keys. Points scale with speed. The raised 7th adds a leading tone and an exotic gap that defines classical minor and a lot of dramatic film music.

What the game is

You get a key and find its harmonic-minor notes. The game trains your hands to hit that raised 7th and the wide leap above the flat 6, in every key.

What it teaches

• The raised 7th and the leading tone it creates.
• The augmented-second leap between ♭6 and 7.
• Harmonic minor in every key.

Why it's cool

One raised note lets a minor key resolve as hard as major, and sounds dramatic and a little Middle-Eastern doing it. On the keyboard, that leap between ♭6 and 7 is unmistakable under the fingers.
