There are other approach to changing keys as well.
1) Finding a common tone in the two keys
So I am going to write out the scales in two different ways:
C D E F G A B C (C Major)
C D Eb F G Ab Bb C (Eb Major)
Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb (Eb Major)
E F G A B C D E (C Major)
If you can see, the scales are pretty parallel to each other. Now if you do any type of run (especially a scale), you can quickly lead into the next key. You do have to experiment for yourself but it has so many different ways to change the key that its pretty efficient.
2) Finding a common chord in the two keys
This is what I like to call the "pivot" key change. As you play through, you will find a chord that lies in both keys.
C Dm E m F G(7) A m B dim
Cm Ddim Eb Fm Gm Ab Bb(7)
This key transition is not as smooth for this scenario. However it is still possible. If you break down the chord and make a melody, then the transition is alot more defined and helps transition easily. I will do an example with every chord.
C - F - Ab - Ab/Bb - Eb
Dm - F/A -Bb - Bb7 - Eb
Em - G7 - C - Bb7
F - Dm (D7 for the alternate dominant chord) - Gm - Ab/Bb
G7 - C - F - Ab/Bb - Eb
Am - G - F

∙ 13y agoB flat is the enharmonic spelling of C natural. Basically, it's the same note; there would be no modulation.
You would play a F7 chord to change from the key of C to the key of B flat.
