Practise transposition you probably will never use?

_TrumpeT_ · 07-09-2006, 03:09 AM

Just wondering, do you practise transposition you will probably never use like major seventh up, minor seventh down, etc?

trumpetnick · 07-09-2006, 04:34 AM

I have never did so, except some sightreading exercises I did when was still in college. I can imagine though, that pro jazz musician may practice transposing patterns and phrases in all keys...
Any jazz trumpeters around?

sure. just imagine how easy everything else will be after that! of course, you could just think down a step and take it up an octave, or read it in bass clef and transpose that down a step...or so

Yes

You never know what you might have to do - what is easy on one instrument might become more difficult on another (and you can never be 100% certain of what instrument you will have in your hands)

Yes, it's good for you like musical vitamins for your brain. It helps your sightreading like practicing speedreading and then reading at a normal pace.

If you ever play with a vocalist (especially the bad ones) you'll experience weird "transpositions" like this. I know it's not the same as transposing visually but trust me it's just as foreign!

Best,

What happened to the flag? And what was that flag?

Manny Laureano · 07-09-2006, 03:18 PM

It is the Italian flag; my way of teasing Rogerio since he was rooting for France and I'm rooting for Italy in the soccer finals. I'm not even a soccer fan so, I really don't care but it's just a bit of fun.

Major seventh up is like A trumpet, 1/2 step down, then up an octave. Minor seventh down is like a major second up, very common. I just worked with a singer who wanted to do Skylark in A! Got a little tricky at the end of the bridge, bit I made it.
