Why is a "C" on the piano different from a "C" on the trumpet, alto sax, or the English horn? It all has to do with transposition.

Life hack: have an instrument in every key so you can always play the same scale for your scale test

Saxophonist with absolute pitch here. I started on violin as a youngster and thus grew accustomed to concert pitch. When I started alto sax at age 11 I swore there was something wrong with my instrument because my Câs were coming out as Ebâs. Then someone explained transposition to me. Mild pain, but I eventually got used to it.
Then, in college as a freshman, I was asked to play tenor 2 in our schoolâs big band. It was my first time playing a Bb sax, and it BROKE MY BRAIN! (for a while at leastâŚ) At that point my mind had been accustomed to concert pitch in most theory/writing exercises, **and had hard-coded Eb transposition to saxophone fingerings**. Even though I consciously knew that t sax was a Bb instrument⌠when reading / fingering a C, my brain subconsciously expected an Eb, and when Bb came out instead, the cognitive dissonance was almost too much to handle. It took me a solid 3 weeks to get over it.

Thank you so much, nobody has ever helped me with my trumpet in đŚ. This helped me so much!

I was surprised that I needed to explain this to my piano teacher. Iâm a sax player so it comes naturally to me. But what I couldnât explain was why Bb seemed to have won out in history with so many instruments in that key. It seems like you could have made those instruments at bit smaller and you would be in C, saving a lot of confusion and not changing the range much.

"Tenors like to think they're special." As a lyric baritone, that line nearly made me blow soda out of my nose.

As a professional french horn player, transposing is a way of life. Our horn is mainly pitched in F but we are routinely required to play orchestra parts pitched in, E, E flat, D, C, A, B flat and even H (B natural).

Thank you for including the guitar. It is so often left out of discussions of classical instruments. Maestro Segovia is smiling down on you đ.

As someone whoâs played guitar his whole life and just had to move his fingers around to play any scale, and who now has started seriously practicing wind instruments, this continues to blow my tiny mind...

There are some shortcuts you can take to make life easier. Reading an Eb part in treble clef is the same as reading concert pitch in bass clef, adding three sharps. Reading a Bb part in treble clef is the same as reading concert ptich in tenor clef, adding two sharps. Once you think of transposition as a game of "which clef am I reading this in?", it becomes way easier in my opinion. Especially if you're unfortunate enough to be afflicted with perfect pitch like I am.

I have been a vocalist most of my life. The first time I became aware of transposing instruments is when I went back home for my class reunion. A former classmate, who was a composer, asked me to rehearse the instrumentalists while he ran an important errand. He gave me the sheet music to hand out to the musicians. That is when I noticed different key signatures on the score. It was quite a revelation!

Here's a fun one: I played the euphonium/baritone horn in HS band and for those of us who started on trumpet, our sheet music would be in b-flat in the treble clef, but for those of us who started on trombone, our sheet music was in c in the bass clef!

Iâve never been happier to be a piano playerâŚ

After 40 years, Iâve finally understood this shit.

I had to watch three videos before I grasped the concept but you explained it perfectly. The visuals helped a lot.

Had great "fun" doing all the transpositions for brass instruments to cover them during a Christmas cantata presentation; our local ensemble had no brass players, so had to cover them as best can on an old but capable electronic organ. The organ had quite good PCM sound, so quite realistic simulation. Had to write in all the parts in Finale, then switched back to "concert pitch" to enable playback on the keyboard. But it was a great practical lesson on the array of transposing instruments.

Thank you so much for this video, I have been struggling with this for a while, this made it extremely clear!

For even more fun: trombone parts in France (and Belgium?) are sometimes in bass clef transposed to Bb rather than concert pitch.
