Transposing sheet music

Hi there,

Well it might be difficult, but not impossible. First find the current key of the song. You can do this by looking at the key signature. This is an area at the beginning of the staff lines that shows which notes are sharp (#) or flat (b). If you don't see any sharps or flats, the song is in the key of C/A minor. One sharp is the key of G/Em, two is D/Bm, three is A/F#m, four is E/C#m, five is B/G#m, six is F#/D#m and seven sharps is C#/A#m. If you see one flat, the key is F/Dm, two is Bb/Gm, three is Eb/Cm, four is Ab/Fm, five is Db/Bbm, six is Gb/Ebm and seven flats is Cb/Abm.
