Transposing Brass

Brass instruments are transposing instruments, meaning that the notes they play are not the same pitch as written. The key of the instrument determines the transposition so that, for example, a B-flat trumpet plays a major second lower than written while a French horn plays a perfect fifth lower. Learning transpositions is an important part of playing brass instruments.
