The Music Notation and Transposition Website

What is transposition?

Put simply, transposition involves moving the entire score (all the notes) up or down so that the music sounds either higher or lower.

For example, look below to compare the tune "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the C major key at the top, then transposed higher by a major 3rd to the E major key below.
