How to Transpose Music Easily using Transposing Graph
How to Transpose Music Easily from one Key to Another. The Easy Transposer
Transposing music and Finding it Difficult? You can transpose music or keys easily with this music/key map. Simply find the musical key you are currently using in the central blue column and then move left or right to transpose and find the destination key.
For Example : If you are in the Key of C and you want to transpose up by 4 Semitones simply move right by 4 columns until you reach E. All Entries in This column will relate back to the central column. Therefore, if the chords in a piece were C, Em, Am and G and then you transposed up by 4 semitones - the result would be E, G#m, C#m and B.
