Can Anyone tell me where i can find Sing to the King sheet music for the trumpet?

Answer 1

First of all, you'll need to know what key the song is in. If the band is playing the song in a concert (C), the Trumpet (which is a Bb instrument) will need a copy of the music in concert (D). So you don't really need special sheet music, unless you are wanting a different accompaniment score. This would be a different part than what everyone else is playing, but it would still need to be one whole step higher.

For example:

Key for Band..........Key for Trumpet

(C) Instruments.....(Bb) Instrument

============================

(C).......................(D)

(D).......................(E)

(E).......................(F#)

(Eb).....................(F)

(G)......................(A)

(A)......................(B)

(B)......................(C#)

Best Option:

If you purchase sheet music onlin from a source that uses SCORCH, you can easily print a part for the band and then transpose up two half step/one whole step and print the trumpet music.

A Second Option:

The other option is software such as Finale or Smartscore where the music is scanned into the program. It will then allow you to transpose and otherwise manipulate the score. More expensive and most of this type of software does require a fair amount of time using it before becoming proficient at it.

Another Option:

The last option is to purchase music for the entire band, which will provide everyone with music for their respective instruments. Sites like PraiseCharts.com offers this for about $30 per song. That's fine if it's a new song for the band but not really an option if the trumpet is the only one needing music. The entire band would have to use the new score because it's not likely that the purchased trumpet part would match the score the band is playing (not only the key the song is in but also the score itself.) Many versions of the same song exist by different arrangers and aren't always easily mixed and matched.

One Last Thing:

If you are in a smaller church that belongs to a denomination -- or if you have any other connections to a larger church, you may want to contact them to see if they have any trumpet music that you can borrow. We have done this in the past and were able to borrow a lot of music for an instrument that they no longer had on their worship team. If they ever require the use of this music again, we will gladly return it.

Best wishes with this endeavor and I hope my information has been helpful.
