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.
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).
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.

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.
1. By the Piano. 2. Get the piano delivered and installed. 3. Bang on the Keys. If you actually want to play music on the piano it may take a lot longer.

To transpose trumpet music to concert pitch, you need to raise the written pitch by two whole steps. For example, if the trumpet music is written in the key of C, you would need to play it in the key of D on a concert pitch instrument.
To transpose a song to a different key effectively, you need to identify the current key of the song and the key you want to transpose it to. Then, you can use a music theory concept called the circle of fifths to determine how many steps you need to move the notes up or down to achieve the desired key. Finally, you can use a music notation software or transpose the chords and melody manually to complete the process.

go down3 steps
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)
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.
To efficiently transpose key signatures in music notation, you can use the circle of fifths to determine the new key signature. Identify the current key signature and the desired new key signature, then move the notes up or down by the appropriate number of steps based on the circle of fifths. Remember to adjust for any accidentals that may be needed in the new key signature.
A half step in music is the smallest interval between two notes. It is the distance of one key on a piano. A whole step is two half steps put together, or the distance of two keys on a piano.
