Bb C D Eb F G A Bb
If a horn is pitched in F, then a horn player that plays the C scale on the horn is, when compared to a piano or flute or violin (which is made in concert pitch), actually playing the F scale. The horn overall is in the key of F. The same goes if it's pitched in B-flat or E-flat: the C scale will actually be the concert B-flat scale or concert E-flat scale. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything needs further explanation. =)
A-flat Major scale
B
Concert B-flat and written C are the same thing on a B-flat transposing instrument, such as a clarinet, trumpet, or tenor saxophone.
B flat concert means when a concert b flat is played, the concert pitched instruments finger a b flat and thats what comes out. For an alto saxophone to play a concert b flat, it must finger a g for a b flat to come out. a trumpet and clarinet has to finger a c.
There is no relationship between eighth notes and a concert scale.
B flat concert scale...just a guess
B flat, F, B flat are the basic three... B flat (the second one) would be your tunning note on a Bb concert scale.
in grade 4 you have to learn the b flat major scale and also in higher grades.(p.s. im a preparing for my grade 4 piano)
Concert d-flat is played as e-flat on the clarinet. To transpose any note from concert pitch, simply raise it one whole step; the result is the note you should play on a standard b-flat clarinet to match the concert pitch.
Yes, it is. The "A" on a flute is the same as the "A" on a piano, unlike the (common, soprano) clarinet which in the key of "B flat".
Transposing for a Saxophone is the same as any other instrument. You need to know which key your transposing to or from though. The Soprano Saxophone is in B-flat pitch. The Alto Saxophone is in E-flat pitch. The Tenor Saxophone is in B-Flat pitch. The Bari Saxophone is in E-Flat pitch. Most Bass Saxophones are made in B-Flat pitch. The Contrabass Saxophone is in E-Flat pitch.
