So, 2 half steps below the key G is….the key of F. Remember, we already figured out that you need to move the key down 2 half steps (moving the highest note from a C down to a Bb). For this example, we’ll say the song is in a major key. So the starting key is the key of G Major (or E minor). So, let’s say that there is one sharp (#) in the key signature in the original key. Learning the key signatures is the best way to do it, but here is a chart to get your started. Simply look at the beginning of the song for the key signature. (What’s the starting key?) If you are looking at sheet music, this is easy to find out. This means, you will be transposing the song down two half steps. The distance from C down to Bb is two half steps. So, you’ll need to move entire song down so that the highest note is a Bb instead of a C. Let’s say that your highest comfortable belted note is a Bb. Let’s say the highest note is a C, and that’s too high for you to belt comfortably. You can do this on a piano or virtual keyboard. If the song is too low, figure out the lowest note and compare to your vocal range. If the song is too high, figure out what the highest note is and compare it to your vocal range (find out your vocal range here). When a song is outside of your vocal range, you can change the range of the song to fit within your vocal range by changing the key. Rather, a singer has a vocal range (the lowest to the highest note that you can sing) and every song has a range as well (the lowest note in the song to the highest note). There isn’t one specific key that you sing in. I’ve had many students ask me “What’s my key?” or “What key do I sing in?”. How To Transpose A Song Into Your Keyįirst, let me clarify something. I’m going to give you all the tools you’ll need (including a transposition chart) to figure out what key works best for your voice on any given song. But this is no big deal, because I know how to transpose or “change the key” of any song. I can’t sing as low as most of my favorite female jazz singers. Maybe the recording artist is a tenor and you’re a baritone? Or possibly the belted notes are too high on that Adele song and you find yourself straining?įor me, I’m a soprano in an alto’s world. Are there songs that you would love to sing, but they’re in the wrong key for your voice (too high or too low)? This happens to all singers.
