Hello Andrew

It is imperative that I write now, as my plan of waiting till I finished, 'Your Course' is not possible anymore. I cannot go on, within registering my gratitude. Your largess in bequeathing these lessons is a countable online treasure. I wish all the health and zest in the world.

With much appreciation and High Regard

Even though I already know about transposition, I just felt like doing some catch up and you're a fantastic teacher. Keep up these videos!

bit confused... little extra help?

@niginai Hi, I don't know if you'd already got the answer by now..

but Bb is lower than C only a tone

You can find it on the keyboard, the Bb note is lower than the C note only a tone, or an octave and a tone if you compare the C4 note with the other lower Bb

The key which is lower than C an octave is still C, but lower-pitched

If you transpose a piece of music down an octave, it stays the same key, it just got lower-pitched, that's it

Did I make any sense?

I get all confused when I'm supposed to transpose an extract from a score for a horn in a to a clarinet in b flat and things like that... -.-

[niginai]

Is the key of Bb a lower octave than the key of C?
