To turn a B flat part into a C part (B flat to C = up one step), transpose the part down one whole step. To compensate properly, always transpose by moving in the opposite direction from the change in the part names. This may seem counterintuitive, but remember, you are basically compensating for the transposition that is "built into" the instrument. If you have a C part and want it to become a B flat part, for example, you must transpose up one whole step. Make sure you are transposing in the correct direction. The difference between an E flat part and a B flat part is a perfect fifth. For example, the difference between a C and a B flat part is one whole step. The written key signature has nothing to do with the type of part you have only the part's transposition from concert pitch (C part) matters for this step.įind the interval between the two types of part. Click on the button of the scale/mode you want to work on, and, just like we did for the minor scales, you'll find a lesson on that mode's adjustment, as well as play-alongs of each scale.To Decide Transpositions for Transposing InstrumentsĪsk: what type of part am I transposing and what type of part do I want? Do you have a C part and want to turn it into an F part? Do you want to turn a B flat part into a C part? Non-transposing parts are considered to be C parts. Everything else you see will be based on taking the major scale for the first note of the mode and making specific adjustments to it so that the mode is created.
This is the only time the two will be compared. The video below shows how each mode relates to the Major scale that has the same key signature. Because the scale starts and ends on D, it is a type of D scale.
If you started and ended on the third note of the Bb Major scale, you would play D-Eb-F-G-A-Bb-C-D. Because the scale starts and ends on C, it is a type of C scale. If you look up the definition of music modes, you'll usually find something rather complicated, so let's try to make this easy- Imagine playing a Bb Major scale, but, instead of starting and ending on Bb, you start and end on C- the second note of the Bb Major scale.
