General Discussion / Transposing Horn in F to Alto Saxophone
I've tried transposing other music from the same horn in F before but it seemed that when I played the transposed music on my sax it was off anywhere from a half step to 2 steps. What am I doing wrong? I've used the post in the forums that explains how to transpose woodwind instruments, an Alto sax is -9 and a Horn in F is -7. So when I need to transpose music for it, I transpose to a -2 correct?
I tried to transpose the horn part for the music that the sax has queues for I can't seem to get the right notes to appear along with the correct key.
The horn piece is in the key of G major. The sax is in the key of A major. Could someone give me some steps on how to do this properly? I cant seem to get it right.
I've also seen a post about transposing non C instruments but I'm unsure how to do this correctly.
Any help would be much apprieciated.
