Hello! Understanding how to transpose can be tricky; however, here is a simple technique to help you out:)
Get the notes to the correct clef if needed.You need to know what key you are in. The easiest way to find the key is to see how many sharps or flats are at the start of the song. The will lie by the clef. You need to know what key you are transposing too. Normally, the problem will tell you which key to transpose it too.Find the half step difference between the keys. A half step is the distance between two notes. For example, E to F is a half step. G to G sharp is a half step.Move the notes in that direction. If the distance between the keys is three half steps up, then shift all the notes three half steps up.
Let's look at problem one as an example.
The first step is to shift the notes onto the correct clef. All the notes are in the treble clef. The problem wants you to answer in the bass clef. To start, shift all the notes onto the bass clef. Second, find which key you are in. Counting all the sharps next to the clef, you can find you are in the key of C#.Which clef are you transposing to? If I read the problem right, they want you to transpose the melody into the key of E major. Fourth, you will need to find the difference from C# to E major. The difference is three half steps higher.Now, shift all the notes three half steps higher. Once you do that, your piece will be transposed.
