Hello
I could very much need some tips on transposing.
The band I' m playing with is going to play a piece where the tuba part is missing (an earlier tubist probably didn't return his part), so I have to play the bass clarinet part.
This part, however, is written in treble clef in G major and for a Bb instrument (bass clarinet). I play an Eb tuba and really don't know how to play it. Yes I am a newbie.
I' m going to 'rewrite' the part using a piece of software, even though it is a big job.
What I need is the 'formula' for transposing it so it will be easier for me to play on the Eb tuba. G clef is ok as I can add the needed b' s (3) for playing it as a F clef part. If possible also to F clef.
Hope someone can help me on this and that I am not making a fool of myself.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
