Transpose music for soprano sax

Convert a concert-pitch part into what a B♭ soprano sax player reads.

The soprano sax reads like a clarinet

The soprano sax is in B♭ and sounds a whole step below what's written, like the clarinet and trumpet. For a concert C, the player reads a D, and a piece in C major is written in D major.

Flute, oboe or violin parts

Soprano sax players often play melodies written for flute, oboe or violin. Upload that part, pick soprano sax as the target and check the range: the soprano doesn't go below concert A♭.

Frequently asked questions
