There is an infinate ways to modulate from C major to D major.

One way in which you can do this is use a "pivot chord" which is a chord that is similar in both keys. The chords similar between these two keys is E minor and G major. Simply play either of these chords between C and D.

Another is to play the dominant seventh chord of C major, G7, then move to the dominant seventh of D major, A7, then play D.

Thank you! This is the clearest explanation I have yet to see for modulation.

The most obvious method would be simply to slide up, as in a barbershop standard. It clearly depends on the style/genre of your music, of course. One method might be to go to chord VI (moving the A up to a B natural), then moving to E Flat as if it were a V-I progression in E Flat.

To modulate to any key, play dominant 7th chord from the new key you like to go to and you are there. Example: D major, than play Bb7 and than Eb-you are there.

The fastest way to modulate from A flat major to D major is to use an augmented sixth chord. Since an augmented sixth chord has a predominant function, it must resolve to the dominant chord in the new key and be built in the new key. There are 3 types of augmented sixth chords. An Italian augmented sixth chord is built with lowered sixth scale degree, unaltered first scale degree, raised fourth scale degree. A French augmented sixth chord has an unaltered second scale degree in addition to the notes in the Italian augmented sixth chord. A German augmented sixth chord has a lowered third scale degree in addition to the scale degrees that the Italian augmented sixth chord consists of.

Progression: B flat: I - N6(Flat II)

D: VI - V(7) - I

Chords: B flat - C flat (B) - A - D

Starting with a B flat major Chord, move to a Neapolitan chord (which is just a flat major II, or a chord built on the lowered second scale degree), which acts in D major as a borrowed VI chord. That easily resolves to V(7), which then resolves to the new tonic, D major.

If you're transposing a piece of music: Move all the notes up two semitones (one tone).

If you're modulating/changing key in the middle of a piece of music the key signature changes from two flats (Bb, Eb) to one flat (Bb).

One quick way to modulate to E flat major from F major would be to pass through a C minor chord (introducing the E flat into the key signature) and then to pass through a B flat 7 chord (introducing the A flat into the key signature), giving you three flats, the B flat, E flat, and A flat, required for E flat major.

If you are in E-flat major, firstly modulate to the dominant key of E-flat (which is B-flat major) and from there you can modulate to the fifth in B-flat major which is F major.

How do you modulate from d flat major to b flat major?
