Knowledge of the Jank\u00f3 keyboard<\/a> has taught me how to do something that has until now been beyond me: transposing a tune. It’s really easy:<\/p>\n

Incy Wincy Spider<\/i> is most easily played on a piano using eight adjacent white keys: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. Here’s how that would look on the Jank\u00f3 keyboard:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s try to transpose it to start on F. We simply move our hands (the red box here) so that it starts there:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We see that the keys we need to play are F-G-A-A#-C-D-E-F, and you can test that by playing it on a normal piano.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at another example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we are starting on B, which leads to the sequence B-C#-D#-E-F#-G#-A#-B.<\/p>\n

Finally, here’s Incy Wincy<\/i> starting on F#:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sequence of keys is F#-G#-A#-B-C#-D#-F-F#.<\/p>\n

So to transpose a piece on a normal keyboard, all you have to do is to imagine how you play it on a Jank\u00f3 keyboard, shift your hands and see which keys you’d now be playing, which you can then find again on a normal piano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
