I have a lot of sheet music that is written in concert key that I want to play in the correct key on my tenor sax. I know I need to take each note in the sheet music and move it up a step, for example Bb goes to C.
Does the key also need to change? For example, I want to transpose a song in the key of Eb. I am not sure what to do here. Do I need to move each note up a whole step and move the key up a whole step? If so, what happens to the note (that is moved up a whole step) if in the new key it lands on an accidental?
Also, what is the best thing to do for notes, that even after they are moved up a whole step are still lower than Bb?
What do you do when there are two notes instead of one?
This is the song I am currently working on, Jordu
Also, I was wondering if someone could explain this table for me.
Thanks,
-John
