Transposition

Everybody has a limit to their vocal range which can prevent a singer performing a particular song. Any song can be easily transposed into any number of keys of your choosing. Of course the transposition would include the melody and any accompaniment.

If you are not sure what keys would suit your voice, simply 'a bit higher' or 'a bit lower' would be adequate instructions. A score could then be provided in a number of keys for you to choose the most suitable. Providing several copies would have very little affect on the cost. The actual transposition process is very quick but first the music must be typeset. (For more details please see ). Whether the music is to be transposed into one or several keys it only needs to be typeset once.

Transposing instruments can also create complicated problems for the performer. For example a single line melody of a piano piece would need to be transposed in order that a clarinet in Bb could play along with the piano. Any piece, or part of a piece of music can be transposed to or from concert pitch for the neccessary transposing instrument.

Again the actual transposition process is very quick but first the music needs to be typeset. To see some examples of completed typeset scores please click or use the link on each page.
