How do I Transpose the key of c major to the key of c?

It depends on each instrument. Strings and some band instruments such as Trombone, tuba, and flute are in the key of C so you don't have to transpose them. Other instruments like Clarinet and trumpet are in the key of B flat so if you want them to play a C you have to tell them to play a D because everything they play sounds a A whole note below what you tell them to play. Not all band instruments are in the key of B flat thought. French horn and English horn for example are in the key of F. There are many different kinds of instruments and different keys they are in.

F - first F# - fifth G - forth G# - third A - second A# - first B - fourth C - third C# - second D - first D# - third E - second F - first That should be it... if not, play around and you should be able to figure it out.

What are flat keys and sharp keys?

Why are sharps and flats called sharps and flats?

Major ScalesA major scale in music is a series of "whole" and "half" steps that produces the major scale sound.

This series is: Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half.

A whole step is considered to be a movement of two pitches up. For instance, a C to a D is a whole step because the C was moved two pitches up: C sharp and then D.

A half step is a movement of one pitch up. For example, a C to a C sharp is a half step. Also, an E to an F is a half step because there is no pitch in between. B to C is also a half step as there is no pitch in between.

The pitches with sharps are: C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, A sharp, B, C, ...

The pitches with flats are: C, D flat, D, E flat, E, F, G flat, G, A flat, A, B flat, B, C, ...

So for a C major scale (which starts and ends on C) keeping in mind the order of whole and half steps would be:

C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C

The G major scale has to have a sharp to keep the series of whole and half steps.

G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G Scales have sharps and flats to maintain the balance of the scale (the whole and half steps). Notes denoted with sharps or flats are as important as any other notes. Every note is a pitch and equally important when constructing scales.

Each scale requires a sequence of 7 different pitches (some may be "sharps" or "flats".

What are the slide positions on a trombone for a d flat scale?
