You just saved my life. I was having trouble understanding this today in class. I have a quiz on this subject tomorrow, and I feel so prepared now. Thank you very much! This method makes music intervals sound like elementary! Thank you!
Your explaination was great. What I meant was; if a person wasn't careful and missed a step or didn't think things through, the answer would be really wrong. Keep the videos comin'.
Thank you so much! My exam is tomorrow and I always did transposition wrong and lost 15 marks.Now I have no doubts about transposition and always get it right. You are a lifesaver
Thank you so much . I thought that I already knew the basics but you have shown me where I can go wrong. Very easy to understand with good examples, Thank you very much Max
I never took GCSE music or did any theory, but i've been playing guitar for about 7 or 8 years, so i really wanted to try AS-Level music (need grade 5 theory), so this is should really help me on my way, thanks alot!
To the people complaining that "An octave isn't 7 notes", you are confused. When dealing with intervals you include the starting note, so moving up 4 would be a 5'th because you also count the starting note. An octave (8ve) is 8 notes *including* the starting note. In transposition you do not count the starting note, it is exclusive, not inclusive). In one octave there are 7 notes, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. If you transpose A to be 7 notes higher, you get A on the next octave up.
Tomato/Tomatto There isn't a 8th note Only 7 notes i western music. When we get to the 7th, wether flatted or natural, the 7th is the 7th. and after 7, there isn't a "8" Unless your dealing with extentions to chords. then we talk 9;s 11;s and 13's... 9 is 2nd 11 is the 4th. 13 is the 6th.. the 13 points to a "higher octive" in place (I supose on the clef) it depends on how your using it. or how a person preferes thinking. Down a 4th is the same as Up a 5th.. but as far as "thinking" The 5th of G is D, that is a 5th, but D to G is 4th interval.. I'm kinda getting off subject.. I play the guitar and some of this has to do with how the instrument is tuned, the strings "adjacent" strings.
Very clear explanation. I have one very basic and no doubt dumb question. In the 5:14 example, what is the sharp sign for, given there are no Fs in the melody?
Thanks for your comment. When you say "this could be confusing" are you referring to my explanation in the video or transposition in general? If it's the video, do tell me what I can clarify and I'l make an update as soon as possible. Thanks agin for your comment! Best wishes.
@bluebumfuwa lol! You're quite right - I don't sound my usual happy-chappy in this video. Must have been having a 'down day'. Will add this video to my list to re-record at some stage in the future. Best wishes.
As of 12 April 2010 it's still being developed. Unfortunately I can't give an indication of when it'll be uploaded but, if you haven't already done so, please do subscribe to my channel and you'll then receive notification when it has been uploaded. Best wishes.
Thank you, very clear and simple once put up like that. Cant wait for your next video on this subject, hope it comes before 15th of april cuz thats when Ill do my exams :) hehe if not thank you anyways, all your videos have been very helpfull :)
@bluebumfuwa A slur won't change the rhythm but a tie may. I appreciate that slurs and ties look the same but they work in very different ways. Have a look at my video on slurs and ties which goes into detail about the workings of both the slur and the tie. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Hi . I'm trying to transpose a piece of music on the Harmonica from 2nd position to 1st position. It's root note is E on a n A harmonica. I have to take it up to an octave. I think I have worked it out using the circle of fifth. Is that ok? I've only got into music 4 yrs ago and now I need to learn theory. Can you help please?
Stephan, I'm a sophomore in highschool age 16, and have been playing for 4 years, this year I am trying out for drum major, but also have a huge interest in music theory. Seeing how im considering music education. Is there any suggestions you can give to learn more about transposing one instrument into another? And conducting? If you have any tips, i hope,you'd feel kid enough to,share. I've been browsing your channel for a while and can't find any.
Josh Malone The two follow-up videos to this one (Parts 2 and 3) should help, especially when used in conjunction with knowledge of the pitches of the instrument in question (such as whether a clarinet is a Clarinet in A or in B-flat). You will also need to be able to cope with musical intervals, but luckily MusicTheoryGuy has some equally-helpful videos about intervals; this knowledge is often required so that you pick the correct enharmonic spelling of a note (and, in some cases, a key signature).
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! omg now instead of working my ass off to find tuba sheet music for songs i like i can use transposotion from an instrument that you can more commonly find sheet music for
Ange Jean maybe your confused ? Fourth octave A on flute to bassoon? Bassoon is a lower instrument than the flute so it would be even harder (or not even possible) to do. Maybe you mean the other way around? Like bassoon in bass clef fourth octave A transposed to flute. Then that would be possible. But if im still mistaken and your original question is worded correctly then you then transpose the flute part to piccolo
This helped me so much! I've finished my Grade 5 exam but the first time I took the Grade 5 Music Theory exam, I got only 58 out of 120. This wasn't enough to pass so now i have to take it again>
Schawinx Lmao I know that this is really late but I’m doing my Grade 5 soon and I’m a little nervous 😬 hope you passed in the end, tell me how you did!
You just saved my life. I was having trouble understanding this today in class. I have a quiz on this subject tomorrow, and I feel so prepared now. Thank you very much! This method makes music intervals sound like elementary! Thank you!
Exactly me today
It has also helped me
Am Lisa from Zambia and you
Same here !😮😮❤❤
This is a great collection of well-planned, well-executed videos! Thank you MusicTheoryGuy!

Just to let you know that Transposition: Parts 2 & 3 have now been uploaded. Please visit my channel to watch. Sorry for the delay. Best wishes.
Thank you so much! I find it an easy concept but one of my students just can’t wrap her head around this no matter what I do. This should help her!
I never took GCSE music or did any theory, but i've been playing guitar for about 7 or 8 years, so i really wanted to try AS-Level music (need grade 5 theory), so this is should really help me on my way, thanks alot!
This has helped more than any other video on transposition

@@AnthonyUFOLundell yeah, like a minor 10th is a minor 3rd an octave up.
Very clear explanation. I have one very basic and no doubt dumb question. In the 5:14 example, what is the sharp sign for, given there are no Fs in the melody?
Thank you soooo much I have a test tomorrow and I'm stumped so this helped alot
Hi am Lisa from Zambia this video also helped me

This made it so much easier! I never got transposition but now it just seems too easy!
This guy is very talented🙇🏾♂️
Thank you so much^^ It's been so helpful- it's very clearly explained and well structured:)
Thanks so much for this kind feedback! Best wishes.
@@musictheoryguy we love your videos
Very interesting
Looking at this from a guitar player perspective who comes across piano music frequently
Great video man
Awesome! Thank you so much!
For being 13 years ago, the audio is great!
Nice and clear. Thank you.
Great video
im doing theory for the first time in level 8 and Im still confused lol
me too fam lol
Thank you. Very helpful.
Recommended for beginners.
This will give me an advantage when a song is only available for piano and not for flute. Merci.
your videos are so great, thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!!!

hi find some other things to do because if you're asking for help off of strangers you won't go to far
i
Great video and animations. What program do you use to print music? Thanks in advance.
Definitely a great teacher!
Thanks! Helped a lot as I had never done transpositions or seen one, really useful advice! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this.
yes but how would one transpose between major scales? Like from F major to G major
1:53 But it Isss xD Great Video, once again, thanks
thank u sir; anybody can understand very easily yr method of teaching; i want to learn more from your lesons
Thank you! This helped me!
thank you music theory guy!
Thank you!
Thank you, very helpful
Kudos, Stephen Wiles....
That's actually a C# because of the key signature.
Thank you soooo much....
1:03 C.D.E.C means Cows Do Eat Cars
Im a Grade 4 student and i just learned about intervals weeks ago
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! omg now instead of working my ass off to find tuba sheet music for songs i like i can use transposotion from an instrument that you can more commonly find sheet music for
Then why do we transpose
Thx this helped me a lot my music lesson is soooo boring even this is funner
Is it possible for transpose a flute piece to bassoon...... because the flute piece went all the way to high A fourth octave...
Ange Jean maybe your confused ? Fourth octave A on flute to bassoon? Bassoon is a lower instrument than the flute so it would be even harder (or not even possible) to do. Maybe you mean the other way around? Like bassoon in bass clef fourth octave A transposed to flute. Then that would be possible. But if im still mistaken and your original question is worded correctly then you then transpose the flute part to piccolo
Thank you music theory guy I had a very vague on how to do this but now I know
Thank you soo much! i've had trouble understanding this. i am saved getting scolded from the tchr.
1:03 octave doesn't mean 7 notes...
Nah, it makes sense in the tonic context of a key.
In gr5 you transpose intervals…hard…
This could be confusing if you're not careful.
Then there is transposing from common onto an alto sax I just hate it
HEY!!! I am a Grade 3 Student
fuck this is hard shit.
in the last question there IS a middle C
Those ledger lines are like screaming plants
Damn boyyy
This helped me so much! I've finished my Grade 5 exam but the first time I took the Grade 5 Music Theory exam, I got only 58 out of 120. This wasn't enough to pass so now i have to take it again>

B
I'm in Grade 4 and wowww I think I actually understand this now thank you!
An octave is 8
1:43 1 Direction lol
who the fuck thought exams for kids in music theory are a good idea
7 whole steps however
Gfi
bonjour bien le cour mes trduire en Français merci
