    Finally a video on transposing that I understand. Thank you.

    Excellent! I have been struggling with my b flat trumpet for years, trying to transpose to C, your trick made it much easier!! Great video!

    QuickStart Clarinet Clarinets come in various Keys, another good example of a Non-Transposing instrument which has since gained a Resurgence, the C Clarinet. Mahler bought the C Clarinet back home & it does produce a special sound that could broaden your tone colors to the mix.

      Yes! C clarinet gets used in operas a lot as well.

    An excellent description. Thank you. I have already recommended to confused pianists. One minor addition I use is the numbering. You have used Nashville whereas I prefer Roman Numeral because that indicates not only the Scale Degree but also the chord quality and all Western music is built on unchanging chords. So in A major the triad is A C# E but when the A chord is the 6 of C then vi tells me that that the chord is A minor A C E

      I'm glad you liked it! Thinking and writing in Roman Numerals is great for that extra context! Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to speak in Roman Numerals. Although we would still know that the 6th in C Major implies an A minor chord.

    I see that I'll need to learn the scale degree numbers for each key, but when I do it will make transposition much easier.

      Yes, and you will get really familiar with all of the scales!

    Is it alright to transpose parts of a song instead of the whole song? I want to adapt the music to an instrument for solo that doesn’t have the range needed. I am needing to transpose down a fourth in some specific parts, but the rest of the music is fine. And everything still sounds good when played together. Am I breaking any music laws here?

      Transposing the higher bits down a 4th would make it so you are playing in a different key. In this case it would be better to transpose down an octave so it is the same key.
      If you like the way the key change sounds then that is fine, but that is a pretty big difference from the original.

    • @QuickStartClarinet

      The other option is to transpose everything down a 4th (if it can go that low) and then will put the whole song in a different key but will keep the key consistent throughout.
