A whole melody, an octave

Music theory, Pitch and transposition, 4 minutes

Have Plus? Sign in

Transpose a short melody an octave between the treble and bass clefs: every note moves the same way, and the key signature and accidentals come too.

Every note moves the same way

Treble clef
An octave lower, bass clef

Every note moves an octave, the same way. The key signature, the time signature and any accidentals come too, written again in the other clef. Do the first note carefully, counting from middle C.

Quick check

A melody in G major moves an octave lower into the bass clef. What happens to its key signature?
