Transposition Drill

A worksheet drilling concert-to-written and written-to-concert transposition for the common transposing instruments, with a table to know from memory, a four-step working method, and a full answer key.

What's inside

• The two directions of transposition — concert to written and written to concert — and which way each goes
• A reference table of common transposing instruments, their sounding interval, and the written key for concert C
• A four-step working method, and the trap of transposing by letter name alone without checking the accidental
• Twenty-seven drill questions — reading concert pitch, reading written pitch, transposing key signatures, and writing out a phrase for three instruments
• A full answer key with a completed reference table covering eight transposing instruments, worth cutting out and keeping by the desk
