I'm always looking for the most clear and concise way to explain transposition. This is a great video- I'll definitely be sharing it!

Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful. Hope all is well in Lubbock!

This helps a TON! I hadn’t played in over a decade and joined a community orchestra (my first orchestra) and I was in shock by how many pieces are not written for C trumpet. I’ve been rewriting everything into Musescore and having the computer transpose and print the music but I don’t feel I am learning by doing so.

This is very insightful! I’m a trombonist so transposing is unfamiliar territory. I was looking at Wagner bass trumpet excerpts and noticed it jumps keys a lot. Trombonists typically play bass trumpet in orchestra, and all the transposing was confusing to me. This helped me understand what goes on in the mind of a trumpet player when transposing. Great stuff!

Woah, this is great. I'm always curious to learn how others think of transposing. Just an idea: I've never thought of it this way, I instead think in different cleffs...? Like I have a 'trumpet in f' cleff programed in my head, same with 'trumpet in a' cleff. I guess it's all about figuring out what works for you! Great video as always mate.

I think this could be the end result of transposition practice. When I play Bb music while holding C, I’m just playing different fingerings for the same note. I don’t have to think about it. Maybe that’s sort of what you’re getting at.

Great video, as always!

Great video as always! Would you have a student work with a metronome starting a very slow tempo amd gradually speeding up(like I've seen you suggest in preparing other pieces)? Also, any tips to overcome accidental memorization in transposition practice? I've been working out of the Sachse book and sometimes will find that I've just memorized an etude in the transposed key, so I'm not really transposing anymore. Maybe just move to a new etude and revisit old ones periodically?

I suppose gradually speeding things up would be good, but I think transposition is less about learning something fully, and more about seeing a lot of different scenarios and letting your mind try to process them. It speaks to your second question too. I have the same problem you described. In some sense, it’s not a problem, because learning anything deeply enough to memorize it is great. But for learning transposition, I think your assessment to change things up and come back to track progress makes sense.
