If you have music for the piano and want to play it with the baritone and piano how many steps do you need to transpose it?

I'm pretty sure baritone horn and piano are both concert pitched instruments.
The Baritone Sax is a transposing instrument and is pitched in Eb.
This means that if you play a C it will sound as Eb.
Therefore you need to transpose the piano part down 3 semitones.
for example... you see a written Eb and you play 3 semitones lower... C
You see a written C and you play an A.
If in doubt... simply go to a piano and play a C then find the note on your sax.

How should you transpose music so that it's suitable for a soprano saxophone?
Soprano saxes are in the key of Bb, and sound one step below the written note. To transpose piano music or music for other C instruments, transpose two half-steps (one step) up. The key signature must be changed by adding two sharps or reducing the number of flats by two. Music originally in the key of F (one flat) will now be in the key of G (one sharp).
How do transpose piano to oboe?
I played the oboe in the high school band and the instrument is a concert pitched instrument, the same as the C flute. You do not need to transpose the music to play oboe and piano together. Simply read the melody line of the piano, for the oboe part.

How do you convert piano to alto sax?
The tenor saxophone is in the key of Bb, while a standard piano is pitched in the key of C. To have a piano play in the same key as a tenor sax, you can do one of two things: 1. Have the piano part transpose (move) all it's notes down a full step. For example, instead of playing a D on the page, it plays a C. Instead of playing an Eb, it plays a Db. 2. Or, which may be easier, the tenor sax player can transpose (move) all it's notes up a full step. So instead of playing a F, the tenor will play a G.

The tenor saxophone sounds in Bb when playing in C (it goes a whole step lower). The alto saxophone sounds in Eb when playing in C (going 4.5 steps lower).Therefore, transpose the notes UP 3 steps to go from tenor sax music to alto sax music.Each sax is tuned 3 steps below the one above it or 3 steps higher from the one below it (from saprano to alto, alto to tenor, tenor to bari)
How do you convert music for Baritone TC to Baritone BC?
There is a serious of steps that you have to follow to convert music from Baritone TC music to Baritone BC music. For example: On Baritone BC the major Bb scale is Bb C D Eb F G A Bb. Well on Baritone TC the notes are C D E F G A B C because a C on Treble music for Baritone is going to be the same for a Bb on bass clef music for Baritone. So you finger a C open and that's also how you finger a Bb. So basically your playing the same note. It would probably help to know the notes on treble clef so you'll be able to convert them and also figure out the major scale fingerings and notes for Baritone TC and BC so it would be easier to convert the notes. Also it would help to print out a fingering charts. This website should help http://www2.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/lcmsa/Music_Theater/Band/Fingering_Charts.htm and basically that's it. It's a lot of work but I wish you luck. If you have any problems just tell me and I would be delited to help.

How do you transpose piano music to Bb tenor sax?
This depends on what key the Trombone is in and what clef the music is written in. Most trombone music in treble clef is for Bb trombone so there would be no transposing needed, they can play straight from the music. However, if they only read bass clef then you need to effectively 'transpose' the music down a third (two notes below on the stave)

How do you transfer guitar chords into notes playable on saxophone?
the guitar is a concert pitch instrument, like the piano. to switch the chords over, just transpose from what they're playing. i always do either 6 steps up or 4 steps down, however u want to do it is cool. so it'd be just exactly like transposing a concert pitch scale to you
