Just to satisfy your curiosity, in music if you run into a B double-flat, it means to lower that B a whole step, not there but there. There’s such a thing as double-flats and double-sharps, but I don’t think I’ll take that up here. I think that’s as far as we’ll go in terms of piano keys. I can use it either way, can’t I? G sharp or A flat. They can function as a C sharp or a D flat. Now let’s talk about the black keys, okay? If this is C, that note is C sharp because I’m going up a half step above C, but it’s also called D flat. In total, there’s 88 keys counting all the black and white keys. There’s seven of those going from the bottom of the keyboard to the top. An octave is where it encompasses from one letter to the same letter, like A to A, or B to B, or C to C.
An octave is an eight, like octopus, eight. There are seven octaves between the bottom note and the top key. Then it starts over again with A, B, C, D, E, F, G. The first white note is A, then B, C, D, E, F, G. If I start at the far left end of my keyboard, and you can’t see that far down I don’t think, but that’s an A. Let’s start off real simply and just talk about the piano keys, first of all, okay? We’re going to talk about what it means to play in those keys. You’re playing in the key of F, or you’re playing in the key of B flat, or you’re playing in the key of D or whatever. When you play a song, you’re playing it in a particular key. There’s another concept about piano keys you’re playing. For beginners, we’re going to go over that real quickly. Those are called piano keys whether they’re black or white. One meaning is these things on the keyboard. Today I’d like to talk about the subject of piano keys. If you want to transpose minor chords between keys, you simply have to add minor to the note.Good morning! This is Duane. Some examples of how major chords changes between keys: But you can interpret the notes to major chords. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of B to another key.Ĭoncerning chords, the table doesn’t show major and minor. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of A to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of G to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of F to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of E to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of D to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of C to another key. The following tables includes diatonic notes in a specific scale and can used as a reference every time you want to change from a key to another key. Reference – diatonic notes (specific keys) Go to the seventh row and the sixth column and you find A. Go to the third row and the fifth column and you find F#.Ĭhange the tone C# in the key of A to the same tone in the key of F: In the third row from the bottom and sixth column you find C# in the key of A.
Go to the fifth row and the fifth column and you find G.Ĭhange the tone G# in the key of E to the key of D: In the fifth row and fifth column you find G# in the key of E.

Here are some instructions how to use it.Ĭhange the tone E in the key of C to the key of Eb: In the second row and fifth column you find E in the key of C. The table is without doubt dense in information (see also the the tables with only diatonic notes below). Instructions can be found below the table.ĭb = C# | Eb = D# | Gb = F# | Ab = G# | Bb = A# (to reduce space in the table only one of these are written out) The following table can be used as a reference every time you want to change to another key. The result will be this: D - G - Bm - A - G - D. If we have the chord progressions: C - F - Am - G - F - C in the C Major and want to transpose it to the key of D Major we have to change every chord by two semi-steps. If we want to go from the C Major to the D Major we change all related notes one whole step, which is the distance between C and D. How to transposeĪ transposition is done by changing all notes (or chords) a certain interval. Notice the difference between a transposition and a key change: in the first case the whole song is transcribed to a fit another key and in the second case the key barely change in the song. You can, for example, transpose a piece of music from D major to G major or any other key. In music, transposing, means moving notes or chords from one key to another.
