QUOTE(muse @ Nov 6 2009, 09:56 AM)  So for an exam: If I had to find the transposing interval of a Clarinet in A I would count up from A to C which is a 3rd. And a C would be from the minor key so Clarinet in A would sound a minor 3rd lower than concert pitch? If I had to find a transposing interval of a French horn in F I would count up from F to C which is a 5th. And C is in both keys so its perfect, so its a perfect 5th lower? That's right. What exam are you doing? |

What exam are you doing? I'm doing grade 7 and I'm so scared. Its with trinity and they've given me a date 3 weeks earlier than I expected (the dates are not the same as the practical exam) so I cramming write now. I really hope I do ok. |
