Re: Transposing Notes
Aha! Thanks, DavidKOS and JeffD. I've learned something today. Yes, even this old curmudgeon is capable of learning. Whodathunkit?
Of course, it helps when it's explained so clearly.
I did not have any band experience in school, or I might have known this. My first instrument was a woodwind, though, the recorder (well, technically it was the Tonette, but the less said about that plastic ocarina the better ... maybe ... ), which is in fact a C instrument. So in my defense, I would not have known this about Bb and Eb instruments. I have seen that designation over the years, and vaguely understood how it related to those instruments. But not to other instruments which weren't so designated. So the notion of a C instrument is new to me. Thanks for clarifying. And sorry for any confusion the expression of my confusion may have caused.
I appreciate your efforts to achieve understanding.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
