The New 2015 Irish Flute Combo The Irish Flute Combo starts with one of my Standard Flute models in D with rings and slides as the core flute. Additional middle joints and a foot joint are used to convert the flute to play easily in the keys of C, Eb and E, depending upon which joints are used.
Read the music as written for an oboe.Transpose by lifting each note seven half-steps. Think of half-steps as the black keys on a piano.
Each white key is one note different from the next white key, while a black key is a half of said tone.Rewrite the music with the lifted pitches. Because the English horn produces sounds lower than those written, by writing the music higher, you will cancel out the lowering effect.Memorize the chromatic scales so you won't make mistakes transposing.
No such note as a Cb (C flat) exists because the next step down is a whole step to a B. Follow the keys on a piano for help.Memorize the new pitches. After memorization, you should be able to transpose music as you play.
