This lesson will come in very handy when I learn a song in one key and the music leader gives me a song in another key. You may have just saved my life ! 🙂
Oh my goodness. This was wonderful. I learn so much from you teaching music. I never knew about the frets being 1/2 steps either. Great tips Ok this helped me so much about Transposing. When I played piano some in church for 9 yrs I struggled w/sharps. So I would transpose 3 sharps or more to flats by using what I call the 7 method. So ex…in key of A major (3) sharps, I’d take (subtract) 3 from 7 and it would be 4 flats or Key of Ab. I would panic with so many sharps & this was easier for me. As a child I took one year accordion lessons. Down through the years I’ve taught myself to read music and play the piano. So my transposing may be wrong but that’s all I knew. I’ve seen other ppl teach transposing but never understood until I saw this. Now I’m trying to learn guitar. Thank you so much.
What's more; thanx to Gracie, Roman Numerals come to the rescue. As long as I can "know" the scales, I recognize the Family. At least it's a confirmation of truth.
Thanks for the clear explanation Gracie🌹Very useful when using a capo on guitar as I experience some chords shapes are difficult to play. One can transpose to an easier key of chord shapes. And the song still sounds in the same key by using a capo
Merci beaucoup. You and your whiteboard lectures gave me a solid foundation in music theory. Much better than some channels that require a post-doctorate knowledge for even basic courses. My piano teachers are impressed with my level of understanding, and are helping me develop my keyboard skills. I started transposing early on, but I use the scale degree. I find it much easier.
Really nice video! I have never transposed anything but I know what you are talking about. I play bass so it’s nice because it’s tuned in 4ths so the shapes are the same. But I do remember one of the first things they taught in music class when I was 10 was to keep the accidentals consistent with the key. But regardless well done and put together video. Really nice review.
This level of detail is excellent, however I wonder if this would be more easily explained with the Nashville Numbering System, for initial mental organization, which will allow for parallel key and mode initial comprehension, and then go into this level of detail. You have covered all of this in other excellent tutorials, the question is how to launch into the transposition subject, and take the student with overview first, and then this level of detail. I learn from you, but calling a key change on a gig or session, needs to be quick. Just a thought, your tutorials are priceless.
New subscriber here. Thank you for your excellent music theory instruction. Am preparing for American Guild of Organists certification exam. One requirement is transposing a hymn with 4 part harmony, a very weak area for me. Will review your online instructional materials for help in this area. Thank you!
Transposing can be handy, but personally I think that every Song has one key that fits it perfekt - and if you change it it Sounds different. Sometimes better sometimes worse.

This is a very useful lesson thank you Gracie, I look forward to part 2.
This is great stuff, Gracie!
Thanks. this is very useful lesson for me to understand transposing
Very helpful, thank you!

Great tutorial as usual 🙂
Thank you for your output which is now going to form a greater part of my studies in composition...🌹🍧
Hey Gracie! Thanks for another great lesson.
always great
Thanks Gracie.. it helped me to easily do transposing.
Really nice video! I have never transposed anything but I know what you are talking about. I play bass so it’s nice because it’s tuned in 4ths so the shapes are the same.

Excellent.
Very comprehensive. Too, I've always said "Kay-Poe". Gotta respect Euros(et al) that pronounce it "cappo".
Your the best and still EZ on the 👀
Thank you for this. I know I will enjoy the Pt 2 and 3. Also interested with you creating courses.

38:40 - And don't worry, someone *WILL* correct your mistake! You can be sure of *THAT* ! :)
Looking forward to this. Notification “on”. Thank you Gracie. Jeff (Outer Banks NC)
Why do you use B7 instead of B? I know it’s major, so I guess it becomes dominant? Why not just B major? Do I play a B major chord or a B7 ?
This video might answer that question! Why Do I Use Dominant 7 Chords?
ruclips.net/video/dhAZQgZJf9M/видео.html
Is there a way to print the song chord chart?
What does the 7 mean like what is c7 is it CEG or CEGBflat
7th chord. C E G Bb
Did I miss something? In the beginning you were transposing When the Saints but about half way through you were transposing Tea for Two…
After the saints went marching in, they had tea for two 😂
Transposing can be handy, but personally I think that every Song has one key that fits it perfekt - and if you change it it Sounds different. Sometimes better sometimes worse.
Some keys 'fit' better in certain guitar- or piano-players' hands.
